INTRODUCTORY. 

Fellow  Members  of  '83: — Your  Secretary  herewith  presents  for 
your  kindly  perusal  the  Decennial  History  of  the  Class.  Unless  one 
has  attempted  a  similar  task  he  can  never  know  the  amount  of  work, 
the  exasperating  delays,  the  uncalled-for  criticisms,  the  1  ith  hour 
material  seeking  entrance,  the  unlimited  patience  required  in  com- 
piling and  issuing  such  a  Record.  You  will  doubtless  find  mistakes. 
You  are  asked  to  be  lenient  and  kind  in  your  criticism.  Some 
men  sent  no  Photo.  Such  may  be  disappointed  to  find  the  old 
ones  of  '83  reproduced.  This  however  is  of  course  your  own  fault. 
When  no  photo  appears  it  is  because  your  Secretary  had  none  nor 
could  he  get  any.  The  photos  of  the  Professors,  et  al,  were  arrang- 
ed by  the  photo-engraver,  hence  the  rather  unusual  grouping.  They 
were  the  only  pictures  your  Secretary  had  of  the  Faculty  as  we 
knew  it.  We  were  unable  to  secure  cuts  of  college  buildings  as  they 
were  in  use.  Hence  none  of  the  "Scientif  Profs"  are  given.  Wherever 
a  face  is  poorly  reproduced,  the  fault  is  in  the  original  photograph. 
We  deeply  regret  that  we  could  not  get  all  the  men.  Please  ad- 
vise your  Secretary  at  once  of  inaccuracies,  changes  in  address, 
marriages,  births,  etc  ,  and  write  him  occasionally  of  what  you  are 
doing.  Finney  and  Petty  have  rendered  most  valuable  assistance 
and  we  thank  them  sincerely. 

Yours  cordially,  in  dear  old  Princeton, 

Edward  Huntting  Rudd, 

Class  Secretary.

INTERROGATIONS. 

1.  Your  present  permanent  address?  In  what  place  have 
you  resided  since  graduation? 

2.  The  business  or  professional  life  you  have  pursued ?  Did 
you  catch  "success?"    How?  and  how  much? 

3.  Are  you  a  married  man?  If  so  when,  where  and  to  whom 
were  you  married?  If  after  ten  years  you  are  neither  mar- 
ried nor  engaged  tell  the  Class  ''why  this  thusness." 

4.  If  you  have  children  please  give  name  in  full,  date  and 
place  of  birth,  inherited  traits  and  peculiarities. 

5.  Tell  us  your  "politics"  and  why?  Give  briefly  your  views 
of  Protection  and  Free  Trade,  Silver,  Immigratian  or  any 
other  great  issue  you  consider  to  be  before  the  country.  Do 
you  believe  i:i  Prohibition  as  a  "Third  Party"  movement?  For 
whom  did  you  vote  in  1892?  What  dangers  do  you  think 
threaten  the  American  people?  If  any  what  remedies  would 
you  apply?     Your  religious  affiliations? 

6.  Have  you  written  a  book  or  paper,  tilled  any  office,  or 
joined  any  society,  either  public  or  private,  civil,  religious,  mil- 
itary, educational,  mercantile  or  otherwise?  Taken  auy  prize, 
title  or  honor,  covered  yourself  with  dust  or  glory?  Tell  us  all 
about  it. 

7.  Rehearse  your  travels,  and  will -you  attend  the  World's 
Fair?     Also  will  you  attend  '83's  Decennial  Reunion? 

8.  Are  you  a  member  of  some  Alumni  Club?  If  none  near 
you  will  you  not  help  to  organize  one,  and  influence  new  stud- 
ents for  Princeton  every  year? 

9.  Give  any  item  whatever  not  suggested  by  the  foregoing, 
which  you  think  will  add  interest  to  the  Record.  Iu  case  the 
insertion  of  each  man's  picture  in  "half  tone"  should  make  the 
Record  cost  from  three  to  five  dollars,  would  you  take  one?  If 
these  are  omitted  the  cost  will  be  under  two  dollars  or  even  one 
dollar  and  fifty  cents. 

10.  Many  of  the  Class  are  so  modest  that  they  wall  not  speak 
of  honors  they  may  have  received.  If  you  know  of  any  items  of 
interest  regarding  another  Classmate  please  record  them.  Of 
your  Classmates  of  whom  do  you  see  the  most. 

Note.  To  the  one  giving  the  best  and  fullest  answers  a  copy  of  the  Record 
will  be  given  free.    To  the  second  best  an  extra  copy  will  be  given. 

You  will  notice  a  necessary  similaritv  to  the  questions  of  1889.  With  your 
answers  however  rests  the  spicineas  and  success  of  the  Record. 


PRINCETON  UN IVERS ITY 
CLASS  OF  1883 
COPY  OF  CIRCULAR  LETTER  FOR  DECENN  I AL  RE  UN  TON 

STUDY  OK  FIRST  PRESBYTERIAN  CHURCH. 

Albion,  N.  Y.,  Oct.  12th,  1892. 
Classmates  of  "83:" 

Princeton's  strong,  steady,  vigorous  growth  rejoices  ns.  Over 
lldO  students  this  year.  205  Freshmen.  Why  such  progress? 
First  Because  she  deserves  it.  She  stands  among  the  foremost 
for  broad,  thorough  Chrislain  scholarship.  Second.  Because 
her  Alumni  are  loyal,  wide-awake,  and  organized.  To  foster 
tliis  devotion  and  inspire  more  enthusiasm  is  our  privilege  to- 
day. Hence  let's  all  go  back  to  "Nassau  Hall"  in  June,  '93  and 
sec  and  hear  for  ourselves.  When  we  get  there  we  want  a  "Dc- 
eennial  Class  Record  full,  complete,  the  "best  yet"  to  greet  us. 
It  will  be  there  if  you'll  help  make  it.  Otherwise  it  will  not, 
The  Secretary  cannot  compile  it  unless  yon  respond  at  once  to 
the  enclosed  questions.  He  is  a  busy  man,  but  will  gladly  do 
the  work,  if  every  one  will  help,  and  that  promptly.  Your  delay 
may  seem  a  slight  thing  to  you,  but  it  may  result  in  no  record  at 
the  Decennial  Reunion.  The  class  asks  thatevery  man  .send  his 
latest  taken  photograph  to  the  Secretary-  If  you  have  none, 
have  one  taken  eit  once.  If  not  too  costly  each  face  will  be  re- 
produced in  smaller  size  opposite  each  man's  history.  This  will 
make  a  most  interesting  and  valuable  Class  Record.  It  may  be 
the  last  until  1908,  our  25th  reunion.  Commencement-  of  1893 
promises  to  be  a  notable  one.  The  new  '  Alexander  Commence- 
ment Hall"  will  be  opened.  Eminent  World's-Fair  visitors  will 
be  in  Princeton.  "83's  Memorial  Law  and  Political  Science  Al- 
cove for  the  Library"  will  be  given  to  the  College:  The  "Class 
Cup"  will  be  awarded,  and  last  but  not  least;  "83  will  own  the 
town."    Let  every  man  plan  to  be  there. 

The  assistance  of  Messrs.  Petty,  Finney  and  others  will  insure 
a  first  class  Record. 

Again  let  me  say — Please  send  the  answerr  to  the  questions  at 
once,  sui'ely  not  later  than  Dec.  1st  to 
Yours  Faithfully, 

The  Class  Sec'y,         Albion,  N.  Y. 

P.  S.  Note.  The  last  answers  were  sent  in  May  16th.  No 
wonder  it  is  difficult  to  issue  a  Record  on  time. 


EXTRA  NO.  1. 

The  Manse,  1st  Pres.  Church. 

Albion,  N.  Y.,  Feb.  14,  1893. 
Classmates:     Here's  a  Valentine  for  You. 

It  is  time  I  gave  vent  to  a  little  friendly  indignation.  Less 
than  one-third  of  the  class  have  forwarded  the  necessary  data 
for  compiling  our  Decennial  Record.  You  are  one  of  the  delin- 
quents. 

The  class  ask  me  to  have  it  ready  for  our  Reunion,  June  12th 
or  18th.  Unless  you  respond  at  once,  I  cannot  hope  to  have  it 
ready.     Send  your  Photo  at  once. 

The  Record  will  be  remarkably  low,  considering  material  in 
it.  Probably  under  $2.  It  will  have  cuts  of  College  Buildings, 
&c,  and  as  many  of  the  class  as  will  send  me  a  Photograph  at 
once.  Then  we  need  to  know  whether  you  expect  to  be  there 
to  arrange  with  the  catei'er  as  to  the  number  to  provide  for. 

Even  though  yon  are  indifferent  to  class  and  College,  interests, 
brace  up,  and  remember  that  the  others  are  loyal  and  enthus- 
iastic over  Princton's  noble  past,  splendid  and  prophetic  pres- 
ent and  wonderous  possible  future.  The  omission  of  your  per- 
sonal record,  weakens  the  whole  record. 

You  owe  a  loyalty  to  your  Secretary.  He  has  but  limited 
time  to  devote  to  this,  for  just  now  he  has  an  immense  amount 
of  work.  Quit  fooling  and  delay,  and  answer  him  immediately, 
ere  you  leave  your  desk. 

Add  to  your  history  a  discussion  of  the  Tariff  vs.  Free  Trade. 
The  Currency,  the  Prohibition  or  Liquor  Issues,  the  dangers 
threatening  our  Nation,  &c,  &c., 

One  Word — Please  send  to  Roberts  at  once  SOME  gift  for  the 
Memorial.  30  men  have  given  $3000.  What  of  the  other  80? 
Much  or  little,  give  something. 

Your  far-too-good-natured  Sec'y, 

N.  B. — Please  return  the  copy  of  these  questions,  &c,  with 
your  reply.

Agnew,  Hulbert.* 

Since  telling  the  story  of  his  exper- 
ience, Bert  has  spent  a  checkered  career 
in  his  medical  profession.  His  address 
is  No.  1933  Park  Ave.,  Philadelphia, 
and  he  tells  us  his  story  as  follows: 
"Upon  the  advice  of  medical  advisers  I 
shall  spend  the  next  year  or  two  in 
Asheville,  N.  C,  hoping  to  l'ebuild  a 
constitution  which  has  been  severely 
lacked  by  several  attacks  of  illness. 
I  am  a  physician  and  have  the  usual 
prospect  of  an  average  pill  pedlar; 
am  neither  engaged  nor  married, 
being  a  firm  believer  in  the  old  doctrine 
that  when  my  affinity  turns  up  I  will 
by  some  means  catch  on;  some  of  us 
must  remain  bachelors  and  I  may  be 
among  the  number  "  Theoretically, 
Agnew  is  a  Presbyterian,  a  Republican 
and  a  high  tariff  man.  After  a  success- 
ful competitive  examination,  Bert  was 
chosen  resident  physician  in  the  Pres- 
byterian Hospital.  One  of  the  pleas- 
antest  of  recollections  in  meeting  class- 
mates was  the  five  days  spent  with 
Garmany  at  his  charming  home  in  Sa- 
vannah. "If  you  ever  go  south,"  he 
says,  "hunt  up  Garmany;  he  will  treal 
you  royally."  Just  here  Bert  discloses 
a  secret.     He   says  one  of  the  prettiest 


girls  in  Ohio  says  she  is  engaged  to 
Billy  Trainer.  Happy  Billy.  On  ac- 
count of  ill  health  Bert  has  visited 
nearly  every  health  resort  from  Maine 
to  California. 

Late  reports  say  that  Agnew  is  very 
sick  with  consumption.  We  trust  it  is 
a  mistake. 

Agnew,  William  P.* 

After  studying  law  for  a  time,  Billy 
discovei*ed  that  he  could  not  be  United 
Slates  Senator  from  JNew  York  State 
for  the  present,  and  so  went  West  to 
enter  the  railroad  business  as  a  prepar- 
ation ere  he  should  succeed  Chauncey 
M.  Depew  as  president  of  the  N.  Y.  C. 
R.  R.  Co.  For  the  year  beginning 
October,  1887,  Billy  was  in  Detroit  in 
the  employ  of  the  Michigan  Car  Com- 
pany. He  was  later  in  the  auditor's 
office  at  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  of  the  North- 
ern Pacific  R.  R.  Co.  Billy  thinks  he 
is  still  large  enough  himself  not  to  need 
a  better  half  which  might  make  a  com- 
plete whole.  He  is  a  Republican  and 
Presbyterian,  and  continues  loyal  to 
Princeton  and  '83.  Under  date  of  April 
19,  1890,  Billy  writes  that  he  has  return- 
ed to  New  York  City.  Address  care  of 
Union  League  Club.

Alexander,  Henry  A. 

Henr}^  is  a  generous  and  loyal  son  of 
'83  and  writes  us  briefly  as  follows: 
Since  the  last  class  record  was  publish- 
ed I  have  changed  my  base  of  opera- 
tions and  I  am  now  engaged  in  the 
practice  of  law  in  Paris.  Address  at  17 
Rue  Scribe.  I  am  in  charge  of  the  de- 
partment of  American  Law  in  the 
largest  law  office  here  and  I  am  at  pres- 
ent the  acting  Counsel  to  the  United 
States  Legation  here  in  the  absence  of 
Mr.  Henry  C.  Hall  whose  place  I  have 
taken,  he  having  been  obliged  to  leave 
Paris  for  a  year  on  account  of  ill  health. 

I  am  married  and  have  one  child,  a 
girl.  Age  four  years.  I  am  as  I  have 
always  been  aud  I  hope  always  will  be 
a  Presbyterian  aud  a  Republican.  I 
have  had  the  pleasure  during  the  last 
summer  of  seeing  the  genial  face  of 
Ollie  Harrimau  in  this  gay  capital. 
Craig  Colt  too,  was  a  familiar  sight  to 
me  as  he  sauntered  along  the  boule- 
vards conquering  all  by  the  majesty  of 
his  bearing.  Ollie,  Craig  and  1  had 
several  reunious  together  at  which 
memories  of  dear  old  eighty  three  were 
always  present.  I  hope  to  lie  present 
at  the  dicennial  dinner,  but  should  I 
not  be  able  to  be  there  in  person  yet  in 
spirit  will  I  wish  God  speed  to  Prince- 
ton and  her  sons  of  eighty-three.  Any 
of  the  fellows  who  come  to  Paris  will 
be  sure  of  a  most  hearty  welcome  at 
the  above  address.  I  still  speak 
English  without  an  accent  aud  do  not 
yet  wax  my  mustache  or  perfume  my 
hair.  Remember  the  latch  string  al- 
ways hangs  out  to  '83. 

Antrim,  Isaac  E. 

Verily  it  is  good  to  hear  from  good 
natured  old  Buck  Antrim  again.  His 
Photo  shows  that  he  has  grown  thin 
from    "Consumption."      Hear  ye  him: 

Dear  Rudd:  Patience  is  surely  a  vir- 
tue in  your  ease.  I  therefore  will  not 
try  it  any  longer,  but  will  proceed  to 
answer  j'our  questions  at  once. 


1st.  My  permanent  address  is  Bor- 
dentown,  N.  J.  Since  graduation  have 
resided  in  Mount  Holly  where  I  studied 
for  the  law,  (not  to  be  ambiguous,  I 
mean  the  law).  Have  resided  in  Bordeu- 
town  since  1888,  and  will  probably  re- 
main here  until  there  is  a  separation  of 
this  ego  from  the  prison  house.  Surely 
an  exile  from  Princeton  ought  to  be 
able  to  pass  his  life  where  Joseph  Bona- 
parte, when  exiled  from  France,  found 
comfort  aud  enjoyment.  Success  iu  a 
measure  has  been  mine.  You  ask  how. 
My  answer  is  that  I  threw  salt  upon  its 
tail,    which   enabled  me   to   catch   hold 


ISAAC  E.  ANTRIM. 

thereof.  I  am  still  holding  on  to  the 
feathers.  But  as  it  requires  the  use  of 
both  hands,  and  as  marriage  would 
necessitate  the  loss  of  one  hand,  you 
will  readily  understand  that  lam  not 
married  and  be  able  to  see  the  reason 
of  my  singularity.  Iu  politics,  I  am  a 
democrat,  because  the  principles  enun- 
ciated iu  the  National  Democratic 
platform  of  1892  are  in  harmony  with 
my   views.      According  to  the  accepta- 


—12— 


tious  of  t lie  terms  free  trade  and  pro- 
tection, I  do  not  wish  to  be  classed  as  a 
champion  of  either.  I  believe  in  a 
tariff  for  revenue  only.  Taxation  is 
only  justifiable  for  public  purposes,  the 
tariff  is  a  tax:  Therefore  a  tariff  im- 
posed to  promote  and  support  private 
enterprise,  interest  being  limited  by 
the  needs  of  government,  is  unconstitu- 
tional and  void.  Furthermore,  1  be- 
lieve that  the  amount  necessary  to  be 
raised  to  carry  on  this  government,  will 
furnish  all  the  protection  needed  to 
protect  our  manufacturers  from  foreign 
competition.  1  am  against  the  policy 
of  the  free  coinage  of  silver.  I  think 
immigration  is  one  of  the  great  issues 
before  the  country,  and  one  which 
threatens  our  institution".  Our  recent 
experience  with  the  "mafia"  and  anar- 
chists prove  that  there  must  be  legis- 
lation made  against  indiscriminate 
immigration.  I  believe  that  no  im- 
migrant should  be  admitted  into  this 
country  until  he  subscribes  to  an  oath 
of  his  intentions  of  becoming  an  Am- 
erican citizen.  1  wouldexclude  nations 
of  those  countries,  whom  time  has 
proven  incapable  of  assimilating  them- 
selves to  our  customs  and  institutions 
I  do  not  .believe  in  prohibition  as  a 
party  movement.  It  interferes  with  oue 
of  the  absolute  rights  of  man:  personal 
liberty.  Have  not  written  any  book 
or  paper  except  law  briefs.  Am  a 
member  of  Mount  Moriah  Lodge  No 
28  of  F.  and  A.  M.  and  also  of  Mount 
Moriah  Chapter  No.  29  of  R.  A.  M. 
For  two  years  have  been  President  of 
the  "Kain  Perfect  Washing  Machine 
Co"  a  corporation  of  N.  J.  capital 
$50,000.  The  only  traveling  I  have 
done  was  to  Chicago  in  June  1892,  when 
I  helped  nominate  (Trover  Cleveland. 
Saw  Laury  lliggs  in  the  convention 
hall.  Called  to  see  Jim  Harlan  but  he 
was  out.  Think  I  shall  attend  the 
World's      Fair      in      order     to     avoid 


questioning    for  life,   why  1  did   not. 

Am  unable  to  say  whether  I  shall  at- 
tend the  decennial  reunion.  I  send  you 
a  Photo  and  should  it  not  break  the 
plate,  you  may  insert  it  in  the  record. 
Thinking  that  I  have  written  more  than 
you  will  care  to  read,  and  apologizing 
for  my  procrastination. 

Amiin,  William  A. 

Billy  continues  to  grow  younger  as 
he  gets  older,  and  more  frivolous  as  he 
settles  down  in  life,  as  witness  the  fob 
fovviug: 

1  &  2.  For  a  year  after  graduating 
I  accumulated  a  fortune  (of  experience) 
in  dealing  out  book-lore  a  la  Socratic- 
peripatetic  method.  Finding  that  too 
exciting  I  settled  down  to  the  less  ro- 
mantic and  more  lucrative  business  of 
teaching  school.  I  gave  myself  the 
ollice  of  Major  and  taught  Military 
Tactics  in  Kemper  School  at  Boonville, 
Mo.  My  company  drilled  so  well  that 
I  was  thought  to  be  a"  sure  'nuff  West 
Pointer."  After  two  years'  work  my 
head  was  resting  so  uneasy  with  its 
crown  that  I  was  obliged  to  abdicate; 
then  too,  four  years  away  from  Prince- 
ton seemed  long  enough,  so  I  trotted 
back  to  Princeton  in  the  fall  of  '87  to 
eat  humble  pie  in  the  Theological  Sem- 
inary. The  pie  they  gave  me  there 
didn't  lie  well  on  my  Theological  stom- 
ach and  I  was  forced  to  resign  again 
(i.  e.  the  pie  —ugh!).  After  graduating 
from  Princeton  Seminary  I  was  offered 
a  position  here  in  the  Kemper  Family 
School  again  and  accepted  and  here  I 
am  teaching  "Orators  Manual,"  Young's 
"Lessons  in  Astronomy"  and  "amo, 
anias,  amamus."

3  &  4.  Unmarried.  The  only  reason 
I  ean  imagine  why  any  girl  should  be 
unwilling  to  marry  me  is  a  modest 
shrinking  on  her  part  from  assuming 
the  tremendous  responsibility  of  help- 
ing me  manage  my  vast  fortune.

5.  I  am  a  thorough-going  Republi- 
can and  Protectionist;  think  Harrison 
gave  the  country  a  splendid  adminis- 
tration and  am  sorry  the  country  has 
made  the  mistake  of  uot  giving  him  a 
second  term.  The  root  of  all  dangers 
threatening  our  country,  whether  re- 
ligious, political  or  social,  is  ignorance. 
The  remedy  of  course  is  thorough  and 
well  rounded  education.  The  light 
will  prevail.

Archer,   J  times  J.* 

As  usual,  Jim  is  six  months  behind  in 
his  answers,  but  none  the  less  loyal 
when  they  arrive.      The   brilliant  law- 


yers of  Bel  Air,  Md.,  hud  it  hard  to 
compete  with  Jim.  He  is  a  Cleveland 
Democrat,  and  hence  suggests  the  in- 
ference that  "he  belongs  to  no  religious 
denomination."  Has  seen  Joe  Bratton, 
Colt,  Duaue  and  Peace  frequently.  Jim 
tells  us  what  Joe  seems  too  modest  to 
disclose,  that  he  (Joe)  is  engaged. 
Plip's  numerous  engagements  are  now 
an  old  story,  but  his  frequent  promo- 
tions in  the  P.  R.  R.  Co.  show  that  he 
is  doing  good  work.  Of  college  days 
Jim  thus  soliloquizes:  "I  often  look 
I iack  on  the  years  we  spent  together  at 
Princeton  and  believe  they  were  and 
will  cont  nue.  to  be  the  happiest  of  my 
life.  Such  friendships  as  we  formed 
then  can  never  be  formed  again,  for 
the  world  has  changed  us  all."

Baldwin,  Joseph   E.* 

Joe  metaphorically  puts  his  feet  up 
on  his  "Reunion  Balcony,"  lights  a 
cigarette,  and  puffs  away  as  follows: 

My  dear  Rudd:  I  hope  you  will  par- 
don ray  not  answering  your  previous 
notice,  at  the  same  time  there  is  so 
little  to  say  that  my  not  doing  so  would 
have  but  little  effect  upou  the  record.

as  you  can.  We  have  lots  of  welcome

Bedle,   Bennington  R.* 

Benny  is  quietly  getting  rich  at  the 
Stock  Exchange  in  Wall  street,  New 
York  City, and  his  New  York  address  is 
3  Broad  St.     He  can  be  found  at  his  old 


home,  No.  473  Jersey  Avenue,  Jersey 
City.  His  answers  to  the  Record  ques- 
tions are  very  brief,  and  we  find  him 
a  Presbyterian,  Cleveland  Democrat,  a 
High  License  and  Moderate  Protection 
man.  His  story  is  more  fully  told  in 
the  last  record. 

Bonbright,  Chas..  H.* 

No  word  has  been  received  from 
Bonny  so  we  imagine  he  is  well  at  Des 
Moines,  Iowa. 

Borgmeyer,  Chas.  L. 

The  Hon.  C.  L.  has  blossomed  out  as 
a  full  blown  editor  and  now  Jersey 
Justice  is  discussed  by  him  in  "The 
New  Jersey  Law  Journal."  On  the 
letter  head  we  iiud  that  it  is  published 
by  "Honeyman  &  Co.  at  Somerville,  N. 
J.,"  so  it  must  be  easy  to  secure  mater- 
ial for  his  journal  by  making  a  "honey7-

also  attained  eminence  in  Newark  as  a 
member  of  the  law  firm  of  A.    Q.    Keas-

bey  &  Sons,  No.  802  Broad  Street.  Of 
his  marriage  the  Triennial  tells.  His 
one  daughter  is  Miss  Henrietta  de  Clerq 
Borgmeyer  and  at  their  home  among 
the  "red  mud  suburbs  of  Rahway" 
they  welcome  old  friends.  "Borgy, " 
with  others,  organized  a  corporation  in 
June,  1890,  for  the  purpose  of  transact- 
ing all  kinds  of  legitimate  business. 
Capital  stock  $50,000,000.00;  paid  up 
$15,000.00.  "Borgy"  and  "Lord  John" 
aim  high.  Let  us  hope  they  will  hit 
the  mark. 

Later.  Borgy  sends  his  photo  with 
characteristic  modesty  and  wants  that 
inserted  but  fails  to  write  any  message 
to  the  class. 

Bratton,  Joseph  Yancy.* 

Joe  has  beeu  one  of  the  most  success- 
ful of  '83  men.  In  addition  to  the  full 
report  in  the  Triennial  Record,  he  adds 
a  few  facts  which  we  append  in  the  or- 
der given;  "Four  years  in  Baltimore, 
Md.,  two  years  in  Elliott  City,  Md.  My 
address  is,  Baltimore,  Md.  care  B.  &

rian affinities.  Democrat.  Am  not  a 
Protectionist,  but  favor  a  High  License, 
tariff  for  revenue  only,  a  follower  first, 
last,  and  all  the  time,  of  Cleveland  for 
whom  I  voted  in  1884  and  1888.  Have 
written  no  book  or  paper,  only  items 
and  editorials  incidental  to  my  profes- 
sion. Have  attained  no  honor.  For  a 
year  and  a  half  was  editor  of  the  Elli- 
cott  City  Times,  a  weekly  newspaper; 
was  city  editor  of  the  Baltimore  Morn- 
ing Herald  for  a  few  months  ami  at 
different  times  have  been  telegraph 
editor,  state  editor  and  assistant  city 
editor  of  the  Baltimore  Sun,  the  last 
named  position  furnishing  me  my  live- 
lihood for  some  time.  Have  sent 
three  men  to  Princeton  who  have  taken 
high  positions.  A  fourth  failed  to  en- 
ter." 


Brodhead,  Rev.  Claude  Ross. 

After  all,  the  modest  retiring  men  of 
our  class,  were  among  those  of  the 
truest  worth. — Claude  is  quietly  moving 
towards  the  front  ranks  in  the  ministry, 
and  the  only  way  for  him  to  do  this 
completely  is  by  "doubling  up." — 
Claude  is  so  happy  because  of  his  ap- 
proaching marriage    in   June,    that   we

almost  fear  we  shall  not  see  him  at  the 
re-union.  He  suggests  that  Billy  Au- 
nin  is  going  to  do  the  same  soon.  He 
writes  briefly  thus  from  Eagleville.  Pa. 
My  Dear  Ed:  I  have  hardly  any- 
thing of  interest  to  tell  you  for  the 
Record.  I  am  about  twenty  miles 
from  Philadelphia,  in  one  of  the  fairest 
sections  of  the  Keystone  State,  and  the 
minister  of  one  of  the  kindest  and  old- 
est congregations  in  our  denomination. 
I  catch  sight  of  Dickinson  now  and 
theu,  who, by  the  way,  drives  a  splendid 
horse,  and  does  not  look  a  day  older 
than  when  he  entered  College;  neither 
does  Flip  Duane,  who  is  as  cheery  as 
ever.     I  must  look  aged,  since  Jim  Har 


—16— 


la n  a  year  or  two  ago  asked  nie  wheth- 
er I  ever  saw  Brodhead.  You  fellows 
Avho  entered  College  so  young  are  to  be 
envied!  I  expect  soon  to  cover  myself 
with  lots  of  "glory*"  So  does  Annin! 
But  'tis  too  soon  to  talk  about  it. 

My  best  wishes  for  every  member  of 
the  Class.  Is  the  football  team  waiting 
for  '83's  sons  to  wallop  Yale?  It  looks 
like  it. 

Bryant,  Henry  G. 

Bryant  has  been  making  fame  for  him- 
self at  an  enviable  i*ate,  and  has  already 
gained  renown  in  the  Scientific  world 
and  in  the  lecture  field,  as  the  result  of 
his  remarkable,  discoveries  in  Labrador. 
If  in  Examination  hall  of  old  he  had 
covered  as  much  paper  and  had  done 
it  as  well  as  he  does  his  class  letter,  he 
would  have  put  Pere  Landis  and  Preach 
Hawes  and  some  of  the  rest  of  us  down 
a  peg.  We  abbreviate  as  follows:  In 
the  now  almost  completed  decade  since 
graduation,  I  have  lived  right  along  in 
Philadelphia  where  my  address  is  2013 
Walnut  St.  As  stated  in  last  record,  I 
studied  law,  graduated  from  the  Law 
School  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvan- 
ia  and  was  admitted  to  practice  in  July 
1886.  Soon  after  I  became  secretary 
of  the  Edison  Electric  Light  Co.,  of  this 
city,  which  position  I  resigned  after 
about  a  year  and  a  half's  service.  I 
have  never  engaged  actively  in  the  pur- 
suit of  "success"  in  the  legal  profession 
but  have  done  considerable  legal  work 
in   connection    with   private   business. 

Being  a  Pennsylvanian,  born  and 
bred  and  surrounded  all  my  life  with 
the  evidences  of  material  prosperity  in 
the  community — a  result  of  protection 
to  home  industries— I  have  been  a  Re- 
publican all  my  life,  although  I  did'nt 
vote  for  Quay's  man  Delamater  in  the 
last  election  for  Governor.  As  a  result 
of  my  profound  and  statesmanlike  re- 
flections on  the  subject,  I  think  the  un- 
controlled and  increasing  immigration 
of  ignorant  foreigners,    which  is  per- 


mitted by  our  laws — is  one  of  the  very 
imminent  dangers  which  threaten  the 
American  people. 

I  "train"  with  the  Presbyterians  as 
heretofore  and  it  is  a  satisfaction  to 
know  that  the  sturdy,  Scotch — Irish 
element  of  American  life  represented 
by  this  faith  will  always  present  a  bul- 
work  against  the  dangerous  socialistic, 
foreign  element  above  refered  to . 

The  only  "paper"  I  have  written 
which  has  been  given  any  conspicious 
publicity  is  an  article  entitled  "The 
Grand  Falls  of  Labrador"  which  ap- 
peared in  the  September  issue  of  the 
Century  Magazine  for  1892.  This  gives 
a  popular  account  of  an  expedition 
which  I  conducted  into  the  interior  of 
Labrador  in  the  summer  of  1891.  I 
have  the  material  at  hand  for  making 
a  more  detailed  account,  embodying 
some  of  the  scientific  results  of  the  trip, 
and  preadventure  in  the  future,  this 
may  see  the  light  of  day.  I  must  con- 
fess, a  number  of  trips  to  Europe  and 
to  the  untravelled  parts  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains,  together  with  the  more 
ambitious  undertaking  in  Labrador  last 
year,  have  infused  into  me  something 
of  that  traveller's  fever  of  unrest  about 
which  we  have  all  heard.  And  so 
when  I  was  asked  to  accompany  the  re- 
cent Arctic  Expedition  for  the  relief  of 
Lieut.  Perry,  and  was  offered  the  posi- 
tion of  second  in  command  of  the  party, 
I  could  not  refuse  such  an  opportunity 
to  visit  so  interesting  a  part  of  the 
world.  The  enterprise  attracted  much 
attention  from  the  newspapers  at  the 
time,  and  you  are  doubtless  acquainted 
with  the  outcome  of  the  expedition, 
which  returned  to  Philadelphia  on  June 
23d  last,  after  accomplishing  the  main 
objects  had  in  view. 

To  give  categorical  answers  to  some 
of  your  other  questions,  let  me  say:

ed on  give  a  20  minutes  response  in  his 
inimitable  style.  It  was  the  best  speech 
of  the  evening,  and  I  felt  proud  of  my 
classmate. 


Butler,  \V.  W.  * 

This  beloved  member  of  our  Class 
died  sudd<  uly  at  the  Arlington  Hold 
Augusta,  Ga.  Nov.  29,  1891.     He  was  a 

Sou  of  U.  S.  Senator  M.  C.  Butler  from 
S.  C.  Hen  had  gained  prominence  in 
So.  Carolina  from  his  law  practice,  and 
his  integrity  and  ability  recognized. 
We  insert  bis  sexennial  letter. 

He  then  wrote:  "Have  resided  in

words  as  related  to  his  peaceful  death. 


Carman,  Prof.  Albert  P. 

We  all  felt  sure  that  Bert  would 
make  a  place  of  honor  and  usefulness 
for  himself,  and  it  is  a  cause  of  no 
little  pride  to  the  class  to  have  two  of 
its  members  on  the.  Faculty  of  "Leland 
Stanford  University,"  Fred  Perrine  be- 
ing the  other  member:  altho'  Fred  has 
only  very  recently  gone  there.  Car- 
man has  frequently  during  these  ten 
years  given  evidence  of  his  loyalty  to 
and  interest  in  the  class,  and  his  letter 
breathes  that  same  spirit.  He  tells  his 
story  thus: 

My  dear  Rudd:  Is  it  possible  that 
ten  years  have  gone  since  Jim  Russell 
was  around  for  answers  to  the  "Nassau 
Herald' '  questions?  Your  list  for  the 
Decennial  Record  received  on  Monday 
was  a  very  tangible  reminder  of  the 
vay  time  has  been  slipping  away.  I 
have?  unfortunately  mislaid  the  ques- 
tions and  fear  they  are  permanently 
lust  but  I  will  answer  as  I  remember 
them. 

My  present  address  is  Palo  Alto,  ('al. 
Since  graduation  I  have  lived  four 
years  in  Princeton  as  Fellow  Instruct- 
or and  Tutor:  two  years  in  Berlin,  Ger-

Carter,  E.  B. 


E.  B.  CARTER. 

Iii  true  characteristic  brevity  and 
pure  English,  Carter  announces  the 
truism  that  '  Cleveland  is  the  Stuff." 
He.  takes  this  view  as  an  unmarried 
man  living  in  Henderson,  Md.  at  "the 
same  old  place"  and  is  said  to  be  "the 
same  old  Carter."  He  wants  100  cents 
on  a  dollars  and  says  the  government 
should  not  store  uncoined  silver.  He 
wants  better  "quality"  in  immigration. 
Thinks  "Prohibition  docs  not  work  at 
election  times."  He  sees  no  dangers 
threatening  the  American  people.  Says 
he  seldom  sees  an  'S3  man  and  so  loves 
to  hear  from  them,  that  he  has  not 
given  a  cent  yet  to  the  memorial  com., 
lest  I  hey  stop  sending  him  their  delight- 
ful letters.  Of  business  transactions 
with  '83  he  says — "Got  a  letter  a  few 
days  ago  from  Riggs — haven't  seen  him 
for  years  though, — offering  me  a  bar- 
gain in  a  manufacturing  establishment 
he  bought  out  live  or  six  years  ago.  I 
suppose  he  had  just  come  to  the  con- 
clusion  he   would  never   have  time  to 


start  it  up  himself."  As  Carter  always 
turns  up  at  Reunions  we  shall  probably 
gaze  at  him  as  together  we  look  over 
the  Record. 

Colt,  Craig  C.  * 

Craig  also  seems  to  be  a  gentleman  of 
elegant  leisure.  He  graduated  from 
Columbia  Law  School  in  '87  but  has 
since  spent  much  time  traveling.  He

Conover,  Francis  S.,  Jr.* 

Like  Tommy  Baker,  Frank  is  so  busy 
caring  for  the  "lambs  of  his  nock"  and 
his  pasture-al  work  is  such  that  he  finds 
no  time  to  reply.  The  Conover  Ranch 
was  in  1888,  the  Elm  Ranch,  Richland 
Springs,  Texas. 

Crouse,  Otto. 

"Salaams"  to  our  Class  President. 

For  real  earnest,  telling,  useful  ser- 
vice rendered  to  '83  and  the  work  she 
is  trying  to  do  for  Princeton,  few  men 
have  excelled  Crouse  and  Roberts.  "In 
season  and  out  of  season"  they  have 
labored  with  little  else  than  glory  as 
reward.  If  the  "Memorial  Gift"  brings 
any  credit  to  the  class  it  will  be  be- 
cause these  men  with  Bryant  and 
Hodge  have  labored  so  intelligently 
and  persistently.  Of  his  whereabouts 
and  work  Otto  speaks  as  follows: 

"My  dear  Rudd:  I  must  apologize 
for  not  answering  the  interrogatives 
before  but  my  history  makes  so  slowly 
that  the  short  story  of  the  last  four 
years  will  easily  lit  into  your  record  at 
any  place  still  open.  Then,  too,  I  have 
wondered  if  I  couldn't  make  something 
out  of  nothing,  and  in  some  manner 
wrestle  for  first  or  second  prize  offered

OTTO  CROUSE 

by  you.  That  certainly  ought  to  till 
the  cup  sufficiently  to  satisfy  the  most 
grasping. 

Since  the  last  Record  was  made  my 
career  lias  been  a  quiet,  uneventful 
one.  I  have  labored  continually  at  the 
law,  and  while  1  , should  hesitate  to  say 
that  that  labor  has  been  my  only  labor 
of  love,  it  certainly  is  the  only  one  that 
has  given  any  appreciable  .results. 
And  ye!  they  are  very  slight.  Just 
across  the  river,  John  Keller  and  I 
sit  and  gaze  at  Hodge,  Osborn  and 
Petty,  the  legal  meteors,  and  the  mag- 
nitude of  our  humility  is  only  equalled 
by  the  fees  we  never  get.  My  politics 
are  of  the  -Jersey  type— democratic— 
but  I  have  never  yet  schooled  myself 
to  follow  the  baud  wagon  at  all  times. 
I  reserve  the  personal  and  purely  dem- 
ocratic prerogative  of  scratching  when 
national  and  state  questions  are  not  in- 
volved. The  only  presidential  candi- 
date I  ever  voted  for  was  Grover  Cleve- 
land, and  to  his  ideas  on  public  ques- 
tions, as  expressed  by  his  state  papers, 
I  heartily  subscribe. 


You  ask  if  I  believe  in  Prohibition  as 
a  Third  Party  movement?  1  have  no 
objection  to  it  for  third  parties — so  long 
as  it  doesn't  hind  me. 

In  my  travels  1  have  gone  as  far  as 
Philadelphia  to  see  Roberts  and  Bryant 
and  to  New  York  where  Hodge  '  'tends 
bar.'  My  travels  take  me  over  to 
Princeton  club  meetings  and  the  an- 
nual alumni  dinner,  where  '83  men  are 
usually  as  scarce  as  the  honors  we  have 
been  waiting  for.  The  only  office  I 
have  lilled  has  been  my  law  office,  and 
that  has  been  tilled  with  great  satisfac- 
tion and  few  clients  I  have  written 
no  book,  taken  no  prizes,  married  no 
wives,  won  do  glory  and  hence  I  am 
not  engaged.  1  have  frequently  been 
mentioned  for  office  but  as  yet  the 
office  hasn't  sot  ghl  the  man.  It  re- 
calls the  .soothing  balm  'Honorable 
Mention,'  rather  pleasant  but  a  trifle 
empty.  I  hope  to  see  fifty  of  '83's  sons 
at  the  decennial,  and  hope  too,  to 
cross  the  paths  of  a  few  of  them  at  the 
World's  Fair.''

the  York  Collegiate  Institute. 

2.  Taught  the  first  four  years  after

measure  been  instrumental  through 
this  organization  in  sending  some

work    in    sending    students     to     "Old

Day,  Clinton  L. 

We  think  the  class  had  better  take  a 
day  off  to  meander  through  this  letter. 
Doubtless  Duck  Earner  and  Jim  Rus- 
sell will  cogitate  that  he  scarcely  need 
have  mentioned  that  he  gave  very  little 
thought  to  podtics. 

Dear  Rudd:  Your  circular  is  at 
hand  anil  most  of  your  questions  will 
Lie  easily  answered. 

Questions  1,  2,  3  &  4  are  auswered 
fully  in  Sexennial  record.  There  is  ab- 
solutely no  change  to  note.  Address 
Care  R.  G-.  Dun  &  Co.,  Cleveland. 

5.  I  give  very  little  thought  to  poli- 
tics. Always  vote  the  Republican  tick- 
et except  in  local  elections,  when  I 
have  been  known  to  "scratch"  a  bad 
Republican  and  substitute  a  good  Dem- 
ocrat. 1  think  the  present  quiet  cam- 
paign is  largely  due  to  the  fact  that 
the  two  great  parties  are  so  nearly  in 
agreement  on  the  subjects  at  issue  that 
there  is  little  to  quarrel  over.  The 
characters  of  the  Presidential  candi- 
dates having  been  stliucieutly  lied 
about  during  the  previous  campaigns  I 
believe  that  the  best  element  the  coun- 
try, morally  and  mentally,  is  in  the  Re- 
publican party;  that  the  prohibition 
party  is  composed  of  moral  men  who 
are  mentally  unsound;  that  Prohibition 
votes  come  mostly  from  former  Re- 
publicans and  therefore  weaken  the 
latter  and  strengthen  the  Democratic 
party;  that  as  far  as  the  liquor  question 
enters  into  politics  at  all,  the  Demo- 
cratic party  is  the  whiskey  party;  that 
every  Prohibition  vote  cast  is  therefore 
a  vote  for  liquor  and  not  agtunst  it; 
finally  in  consequence  of  the  foregoing, 
that  every  Prohibitionist  is  a  deluded 


-22- 


fanatic.  Local  option  is  a  good  thing 
as  shown  by  results  in  certain  localities 
but  as  a  third  party  movement  in 
national  politics  Prohibition  always  has 
been  and  always  will  be  worse  than  a 
dismal  failure.  It  is  a  boomerang  in 
the  hands  of  the  inexperienced,  working 
injury  to  the  cause  it  strives  to  advance. 
The  greatest  dangers  threatening  this 
country  it  seems  to  me  are  those  aris- 
ing from  the  questions  of  Capital  and 
Labor  and  from  Trusts  aud  other  com- 
binations which  are  tending  more  and 
more  towards  the  total  extermination 
of  the  small  dealers  and  manufactures. 
I  don't  pretend  to  suggest  any  remedy. 
Perhaps  the  Almighty  with  the  aid  of 
Henry  George,  Edw.  Bellamy  aud 
others  will  sometime  find  a  solution  of 
the  problem.  The  recent  election  is  as 
much  of  a  surprise  to  me  as  to  every- 
one else  but  I  am  still  a  good  Republi- 
can and  Protectionist.  I  think  the  re- 
sult is  due  mainly  to  the  laboring  class- 
es, who  have  been  misled  by  theorists 
to  attribute  trusts  and  combinations  of 
capitalists  to  the  high  tariff.  It  has 
been  called  a  "thinking  campaign"  but 
a  little  knowledge  is  a  dangerous  thing. 
Ignorant  men  thinking  of  their  wrongs 
are  too  apt  to  accept  any  argument 
which  promises  a  change  without  fol- 
lowing it  to  its  legitimate  conclusion  to 
ascertain  whether  the  change  will  be 
beneficial.  If  we  could  only  have  Free 
Trade  for  a  few  years  (aud  that  is  what 
nine-tenths  of  the  Democratic  howlers 
really  want)  how  gladly  would  the 
laboring  men  rush  to  the  Republican 
party  and  clamor  for  a  McKinley  Tariff. 
I  am  a  Presbyterian  of  the  Briggs- 
Sprecher,  etc.  school,  which  as  I  in- 
terpret it,  means— with  a  decided 
leaning  toward  Universalism. 

6.  Have  joined  and  helped  organize 
the  Cleveland  Athletic  Club  which  now 
has  over  1,000  members.  Get  covered 
with  dust  nearly  every  day,  riding  my 
pneumatic. 

7.  Travels  since   sexennial   confined 


CLINTON  L.  DAY. 

to  one  trip  to  New  York  and  two  fishing 
excursions  to  the  Wisconsin  woods;  a 
sail  ''up  the  Lakes"  and  a  nice  call  on 
Jim  Harlan  and  Bob  Shanklin  being  a 
part  of  my  last  trip.  Having  sect:  the 
"White  City"  in  embryo  shall  make 
great  efforts  to  attend  the  Fair.  Ex- 
pect to  attend  our  Reunion. 

8.  Our  Alumni  Association  of  the 
Western  Reserve  has  "petered  out," 
died  naturally  without  a  gasp.  No!  I 
will  not  help  organize  one  but  will  do 
anything  else  I  can  to  help  Old  Nassau. 

9.  I  will  gladly  give  $5.00  for  a  good 
record  containing  a  reasonable  number 
of  photos  of  the  boys. 

10.  I  have  received  no  honors  and 
can  say  nothing  of  interest  to  the  class. 
Prescott  is  the  only  classmate  I  see 
often.  He  has  given  up  working  for 
honor  aud  is  now  running  a  printing 
establishment  of  his  own,  with  what 
success  I  leave  him  to  tell.  I  will  state 
that  J.  C.  Life  is  at  Traer,  Iowa  in  the 
drug  business. 


Dickinson,  Warren  M.* 

Dick  writes,  "I  have  nothing  to  add 
to  the  sexennial  report.  I  am  living 
about  the  same,  practicing  law  with 
my  father  at  this  place;  unmarried  and 
as  far  as  before  from  being  so.  I  have 
not  travelled  any  worth  mentioning, 
taking  a  few  weeks'  summer  trip  fish- 
ing and  gunning.  I  do  not  expect  to 
attend  the  World's  Fair  but  expect  to 
be  at  the  decennial  reunion.  My  pres- 
ent address  is  Norristown,  Pa.,  where 
I  have  resided  ever  since  graduation. 
Have  not  set  the  world  afire  and  am 
not  likely  to. 

I  see  Carter  occasionally,  he  being 
the  same  old  Carter  as  of  yore.  Broad- 
head  has  a  church  a  couple  of  miles 
above  us  and  is  very  well.  Claude  al- 
ways was  a  sincere  fellow  in  religious 
matters  and  will  some  day  make  his 
mark  in  the  religious  world. 

I  am  a  Democrat  and  voted  for 
Grover.  I  am  a  hard  money  advocate, 
no  Free  Silver  in  my  politics,  i  believe 
in  pi'otection  for  revenue  only.  I  guess 
that  answer  will  make  a  line  in  the 
Record  and  will  put  my  name  in  any- 
how. 

Duane,  Franklin.* 

Flip  still  remains  in  the  employ  of 
the  Penna.  R.  R.  and  has  been  promot- 
ed almost  over  the  whole  State  of 
Pennsylvania,  until  now  he  is  stationed 
at  Tacouy  on  ^the  New  York  division. 
At  present  he  is  in  charge,  along  that 
section,  of  the  constriction  of  the  elect- 
ro-pneumatic-automatic  signals.  Look 
out  they  don't  go  off  Flip,  and  give  you 
a  Corbettic-paralytic.  He  further  an- 
swers briefly  that  he  is  unmarried,  and 
sees  no  likelihood  of  ever  being  mar- 
ried. Is  an  Episcopalian,  a  Democrat, 
and  a  firm  believer  in  Grover  Cleve- 
land, but  doesn't  take  any  Prohibition 
in  his.  Says  he  has  no  time  to  write 
an  essay  on  Free  Trade  or  Protection, 
and  avers  if  he  had,  it  wouldn't  amount 
to  a  hill  of  beans."     As  this  is   the   first 


time  in  the  entire  ten  years  that  we 
have  received  a  response  from  Flip, 
we  feel  that  congratulations  are  in  or- 
der.

KEV.     GEORGE   EDWARDS. 

and  in  these  ten  years  past  has  learned 
how  to  endure  hardness  as  a  good 
soldier.  To  him  as  to  others  of  the 
class  the  saddest  possible  domestic  af- 
fliction has  also  come.  But  amidst  all 
his  busy  caves  and  trials  he  finds  time 
to  write  as  follows: 

1.  My  address  is  Lewistown,  Mon- 
tana. Since  leaviug  Princeton  I  have 
been  a  citizen  of  the  "Bunch  Grass 
State,"  four  years  at  White  Sulphur 
Springs,  and  more  recently  at  Lewis- 
town. 

2.  By  the  people  here  I  am  familiar- 
ly called  "Parson"  and  "Elder"  and 
sometimes  stigmatized  as  a  "Rustler." 
I  have  organized  churches  at  Phil- 
brook,  Lewistown  and  Armells  besides 
being  the  pioneer  minister  of  our 
church  at  White  Sulphur  Springs.  A 
part  of  my  ministerial  work  has  been 
to  secure  places  of  worship  for  the  con- 
gregations at  the  Springs  and  Lewis- 
town,  besides  the  erection  of  a  comfor- 
table manse  at  each  place. 

3.  I  married  Miss  Mary  A.  Cattin   of 


White  Sulphur  Springs,  April  4,  1889, 
but  she  and  her  child  were  taken  from 
me  the  following  year.  My  younger 
sister  Anna,  a  teacher  of  music  by  pro- 
fession, has  made  Montaua  her  home 
so  as  to  be  with  me  in  the  work. 

5.  Voted  for  Harrison  and  would  do 
it  again.  Hurrah  for  Montana!  "She 
is  all  right." 

7.  Last  fall  on  a  trip  East  I  renew- 
ed my  acquaintance  with  Bonbright 
and  Pard  Harsha. 

This  is  a  big  county,  about  the  size 
of  New  Jersey,  but  if  I  should  relate 
my  travels  through  its  length  and 
breadth  this  summer  to  secure  funds 
for  a  new  church,  it  would  fill  an  al- 
cove at  Princeton. 

8.  I  don't  know  of  a  Princeton  man 
within  a  hundred  miles.  Last  summer 
I  thought  I  had  struck  a  bonanza 
when  I  made  the  acquaintance  of  an 
Eastern  candidate  for  Princeton  honors 
(in  athletics)  who  had  passed  his  en- 
trance examination  with  but  two  con- 
ditions. 

Fell,  Daniel  A. 

Fell  realizes  his  negligence  as  fol- 
lows: 

Your  last  circular  letter  received  and 
to  be  frank  with  jTou,  it  did  make  me 
feel  a  little  ashamed  of  myself,  taking 
into  consideration  all  that  Princeton 
and  the  class  of  '83  did  for  me.  In- 
closed find  answers  to  questions.  I 
have  by  this  mail  sent  one  of  my  photo- 
graphs and  also  mailed  oue  of  my 
boy's  to  Crouse.  You  can  count  on 
my  taking  one  of  the  Class  Histories. 

1.  Wilkes  Barre,  Luzerne  Countj', 
Pennsylvania. 

2.  Law. 

3.  Yes.  Oct.  10th,  1888,  Wilkes 
Barre.     Frances  L.  Bertels. 

4.  Harold  Bertels  Fell,  born  Aug. 
13th,  1889,  Wilkes  Barre,  Pa. 

5.  Republican.  Because  I  believe 
in  the  constitutional  right  to  make 
necessary  internal  improvements,     to 


—25— 


provide  a  national  currency  and  to 
develop  and  protect  the  industries  of 
the  country. 

I  am  opposed  to  "Prohibition"  be- 
cause it  has  been  demonstrated  as  a 
matter  of  experience  that  it  is  a  fail- 
ure, but  I  believe  in  temperance. 

The  greatest  danger  that  menaces 
our  republican  form  of  government  at 
the  preseut  time  is  the  present  immi- 
gration. 

I  was  born  a  Presbyterian  and  have 
never  had  any  cause  to  go  back  on  my 
religious  training. 

7.  Expect  to  attend  both  the  World's 
Fair  and  Decennial  Reunion. 

8.  Member  Princeton  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation of  Northeastern   Pennsylvania. 

9.  Yes. 

Field,  William  P.*f 


WILLIAM   P.    FIELD. 

The  lettei'-heading  of  Billy's  com- 
mercial note  tells  a  pretty  full  story  of 
what  he  can  do  as  a  civil  engineer,  but 
the  body  of  his  letter  tells  precious 
little  as  to  what  he  has  done  during  this 


decade  past  of  personal  interest  to  '83. 
We  transcribe  these  brief  statements: 
Present  address  976  Broad  St.  Newark, 
N.  J.  Married  Jan.,  12,  1887,  to  Miss 
Josephine  Down  ng  Smith.  Republi- 
can. As  to  travels,  see  "Baedeker's 
Guides"  of  England,  France,  Germany, 
Switzerland,  Italy,  Austria,  Denmark, 
Belgium  and  Holland. 

Finney,  Rev.  Wm.  P. 

Never  did  '83  call,  but  Jai  always 
responded  and  his  patient  untiring  in- 
terest in  this  Record  and  his  gi'eat  help 
to  the  Secretary  together  with  Petty's 
aid  in  making  this  issue  possible,  is 
duly  and  deeply  appreciated  and  we 
are  sure  will  be  by  the  class.  Every- 
body was  fond  of  Finney  and  we  re- 
joice in  the  strong  steady  work  -he 
is  doing.     He  writes  thus  of  himself: 

"It  gives  me  pleasure  once  more  to 
read  your  "Call  to  arms"  in  the  '83 
circular  letter  just  received.  Such  stir- 
ring commanding  words  ought  to  re- 
ceive a  ready  and  loyal  response  from 
all  the  fellows.  Your  sentences  strike 
me  as  models  of  brevity,  and  if  your 
sermons  are  fashioned  after  the  same 
pattern,  it  is  not  strange  that  your 
people  so  adore  you 

1."  Well,  ten  years  out  of  old  Prince- 
ton finds  me  still  lingering  within  fifty 
miles  of  those  "Classic  Shades."  My 
address  however  does  not  remain  the 
same  as  at  last  report.  For  after  serv- 
ing the  people  of  my  first  charge  for 
six  years,  I  accepted  a  call  to  the  First 
Presbyterian  church  at  Moorestown, 
N.  J.,  near  Philadelphia. 

2.  Here  I  am  endeavoring  to  dis- 
charge the  duties  of  a  village  dominie; 
but  with,  what  success  I  have  kept  my 
light  from  being  hidden  under  a  bushel 
you  may  judge  from  the  following. 
Not  long  since  I  received  a  call  from 
one  of  my  fellow-townsmen,  who  en- 
quired very  solicitously  as  to  whether 
I  ever  attended  church.  Upon  my  re- 
plying   that   I   was     not    altogether   a 


-26- 


stranger  to  that  institution,  I  was  fur- 
ther exhorted  on  the  subject,  and  urged 
to  become  a  l'egnlar  attendant. 

3.  As  to  the  domestic  side  of  life,  I 
still  mourn  the  wife  of  my  youth,  to 
whom  I  was  married,  at  Bel  Air,  Md., 
on  the  5th  of  October,  1887.  Her  maid- 
en name  was  Pamela  R.  Richardson. 
She  died  at  New  Egypt,  N.  J.,  June  31, 
1889. 

4.  I  find  great  comfort,  though  in  the 
little  boy  she  left  me,  William  Parker 
Finney,  Jr.  born  Jan.  20,  1889.  He 
seems  already  to  have  taken  to  writing

REV.  WM.    P.    FINNEY. 

sermons,  as  a  duck  takes  to  water,  and 
has  enough  stored  away  new  to  cover 
the  bottom  of  a  barrel.  And  from  his 
very  birth  he  has  given  at  least  this 
promise  of  success  in  his  predestined 
calling,  in  that  he  has  frequently  been 
aide  to  hold  his  audience  until  far  into 
the  night.  He  has  also  won  a  Prince- 
ton trophy  in  the  shape  of  the 
handsome  "Class  Cup"  of  my  Seminary 
Class.  This  he  took  over  the  heads  of 
thirteen  girls  who  antedated  him  in 
birth.      Altogether  he   is  the  finest  boy 


by  all  odds  that  '83   has  yet  turned  out. 

5.  My  politics?  Well,  just  what 
every  native  born  Mississippiau's  would 
naturally  be,  though  upon  the  great 
and  overtoweriug  subjects  of  the  liquor 
habit  and  the  saloon,  I  am  an  out  and 
out  Prohibitionist  in  principle,  and  am 
quite  willing  and  intend  to  put  my 
theories  into  practical  votes  along  that 
line.  The  voice  of  the  people  iu  the 
last  national  election  expressed  my  sen- 
timents exactly  on  the  tariff  issue, 
though  a  change  of  residence  prevented 
me  from  casting  a  vote.  As  to  the 
silver  problem,  the  main  trouble,  as  I 
see  it  from  my  standpoint,  is  simply 
this:  The  Government  has  too  much 
of  that  commodity  and  I  have  too  little. 
A  redistribution  therefore  I  think  would 
be  beneficial  to  us  both.  In  regard  to 
immigration,  I  am  not  aide  to  decide 
in  which  particular  our  Nation  has 
committed  the  greater  sin — whether  in 
its  flagrant  breach  of  honor  iu  the 
Chinese  Exclusion  Act  or  whether  in 
going  to  the  opposite  extreme  in  regard 
to  the  undesirable  hordes  of  Europe. 
A  fair  and  happy  medium  in  both  cases 
is  I  think  the  true  course  to  pursue. 

6.  I  have  used  up  many  bottles  of 
ink,  and  many  reams  of  paper  in  the 
ten  years  gone,  but  as  it  was  chiefly  on 
sermons,  I  need  not  further  "tell  about 
it." 

7.  I  have  wandered  about  pretty  ex- 
tensively over  the  country,  having  been 
in  every  one  of  the  forty-four  states  ex- 
cept seven.  Am  counting  on  visiting 
the  World's  Fair,  and  will  surely  cover 
seat  28  when  '83's  spotter  begins  to  get 
in  his  work  at  the  Decennial. 

8.  My  name  is  not  on  the  roll  of  any 
Alumni  Club,  but  so  far  as  I  have  had 
opportunity  I  have  never  failed  to  boom 
Princeton. 

9.  Of  course  I  must  have  a  Record  at 
any  price,  but  will  expect  the  usual 
"ten  per  cent  discount  to  clergymen." 
The  pictures  of  the  fellows  ought  to  add 
considerably  to  the  interest  of  the  book. 


—27— 


and  if  you  could  only  have  the  "queens 
of  '83"  there  too,  it  would  be  very  fine. 
10.  I  append  a  couple  of  clippings  in 
regard  to  two  of  the  fellows,  which 
may  possioly  be  of  some  use  to  you. 
Last  summer  out  in  Tacoma  I  ran 
across  Dominie  Welsh  to  my  great  sur- 
prise, and  with  a  good  wife  and  law 
practice  to  his  credit,  he  hopes  for  fur- 
ther prosperity  in  that  enchanting  em- 
pire of  the  Pacific  northwest.  In  Port- 
laud  I  saw  Lucy  Lewis  and  enjoyed  the 
hospitality  of  his  palatial  home. 
Though  in  College  days  he  was  the 
youngest,  "the  little  Benjamin"  of  our 
flock,  yet  jnow  he  surely  must  be  the 
grayest.  He  still  disclaims  even  the 
remotest  thought  of  matrimony. 
Whether  his  gray  hairs  are  the  result  of 
his  anxiety  to  keep  free  from  cupid's 
toils  I  am  unable  to  say. 

Fisher,  D.  K.  Este.* 

Este  still  continues  to  lay  down  the 
law  in  the  city  of  diamond  back  terra- 
pins and  pretty  girls  aud  reports 
"pretty  good  success."  And  so  might 
one  of  the  aforesaid  girls,  Miss  Sally 
Jones  Milligan  McLane,  who  on  Nov. 
26,  1890  led  our  dandy  Este  a  willing 
captive  to  Hymen's  altar,  and  ever 
since  has  been  laying  down  the  law  to 
him.  On  Feb.  2,  1892  another  little 
Este  arrived,  D.  K.  Este,  Jr.  of  whom 
the  fond  parent  makes  affidavit  that  he 
wears  "a  ruddy  complexion,  and  red 
hair;  and  is  very  bright  and  of  happy 
disposition."  With  these  matters  of 
domestic  interest  recorded,  Este  pro- 
ceeds to  show  up  things  political  and 
economic  as  follows:  "I  believe  in  a 
tariff  for  revenue,  and  think  raw  ma- 
terial and  painting  and  statuary  should 
be  admitted  free.  Am  strongly  oppos- 
ed to  Free  Silver,  aud  think  gold  the 
true  standard  of  value.  Think  immi- 
gration should  be  restricted,  but  have 
formed  no  definite  opinion  to  what  ex- 
tent. Believe  in  an  Americau  America. 
Expect  to   vote   Democratic  ticket  out 


and  out.  Think  Quarantine  should  be 
in  the  hands  of  the  Federal  Govern- 
ment, aud  that  the  immigration  of  the 
pauper  population  of  Europe  is  a  con- 
stant menace  to  the  physical  and  men- 
tal health  of  the  nation,  to  say  nothing 
of  the  moral.  These  things  demand  at- 
tention from  Congress,  and  at  once. 
Do  not  think'that  the  principles  upon 
which  our  government  and  institutions 
are  founded  require  that  our  doors 
should  be  thrown  wide  open  to  all 
comers.  Think  extremes  of  wealth  on 
the  one  hand  and  labor  combinations, 
strikes  and  socialism  on  the  other 
threaten  the  liberty  of  the  nation." 

In  conclusion  Este  states  briefly  that 
he  is  an  Episcopalian  in  religion,  has 
visited  Europe  twice  but  scarcely  ever 
sees  any  of  his  classmates,  though  he 
sees  Riggs  frequently.  Rather  rough 
on  Riggs,  don't  you  think? 

Fleming,  George  R. 

From  the.  bright  cheery  tone  of  Flem- 
ings letter  we  can  picture  him  anew  as 
he  used  to  cross  the  campus,  whistling 
or  singing  and  always  jolly  and  kind 
heai'ted  in  his  courteous  treatment  of 
everyone.  It  seems  thoroughly  pleas- 
ant to  hear  from  you  again  George, 
and  all  will  be  glad  to  shake  your  hand 
in  June  '93.  Fleming  strikes  a  good 
high  tenor  note  and  this  is*the  tenor  of 
his  song. 

My  present  permanent  address  is  111 
West  State  St.,  Harrisburg,  Dauphin 
County,  Penn.,  the  banner  Republican 
state  of  the  Union,  This  has  been  and 
is  likely  to  be  for  all  time  to  come  my 
address,  unless  sold  out  by  the  sheriff 
as  I  am  about  to  rebuild  and  enlarge 
my  present  earthly  dwelling  place. 
Harrisburg  has  been  my  home  since 
birth.  My  occupation  is,  Attorney  at 
Law  -General  Real  Estate,  and  any 
thing  that  has  the  slightest  tendancy 
toward  reaching  filthy  lucre.  (of 
course  this  excepts  poker,  faro  bank, 
horse  racing    etc.)      Time  forbids   my

computing  in  dollars  and  cents  the 
success  met  with  since  leaving  college 
— so  far  however  I  have  been  able  to 
pay  my  Grocer,  Butcher,  etc.  Married? 
why  of  course — all  good,  sensible,  hon- 
est, steady,  sober  and  industrious 
members  of  eighty  three  have  taken 
unto  themselves  a  better  half — I  have 
been  no  exception,  so  Oct.  9,  1890 
I  led  to  the  altar  Miss  Eliza  MeCor- 
mick  Robinson  of  Allegany,  Pa.,  sister 
of  Bob  Robinson,  eighty-one,  a  true, 
loyal  daughter  of  Princeton,  this  of 
course  was  one  term  of  marriage;  and 
as  the  story  books  tell  w*,  as  a  result  of 
the  aforesaid  marriage,  on  the  30th  day 
of  July,  1891  Anna  Margaritte  Fleming 
was  ushered  into  this  world,  one  of  the 
finest,  inheriting  all  the  excellent,  none 
of  the  "bad"  traits,  of  her  father,  and 
bright  enough,  were  it  not  for  her  sex, 
to  be  one  of  Princeton's  most  worthy 
and  honored  sons. 

In  Politics: — National,  Republican; 
State,  Sort  of  Luke  Warm  Republican, 
kind    of  Mugwumpish.      Protectionist. 


Why?  Of  course  because  I  am  a  Penn- 
sylvanian.  No,  not  by  a  large  major- 
ity, do  I  vote  for  Prohibition.  A  Harri- 
son man  and  P'*esbyterian.  Written 
considerable,  but  cannot  give  my 
writings  away  as  some  day  they  may 
he  my  family's  fortune.

and  will  undoubtedly  be  at  -s:5's  De- 
cennial, "deo  voleutc,  and  the  creek

member  of  The  Central  Pennsylvania 
Alumni  Association. 

Would  pay  twice  the  sum  named  for 
a  photo  in  "half  tone"  of  the  members 
of '83. 

Have  not  seen  a  member  of  the  class 
since  graduation,  so  being  "alone  in 
my  glory  here  at  Harrisburg"  cannot 
mention  any  particular  classmate  with 
whom  I  am  particularly  intimate. 

Hoping  the  Record  will  be  a  great 
success  and  congratulations  on  "Ruddy 
Jr.,"  1  am  as  ever,  yours  in  '83.

JAMES  POWERS  FLINT. 

After  spending   most  of  his  graduate 


—29- 


life  in  the  wild  and  woolly  (especially 
woolly)  west,  Jim  has  come  back  to  civ- 
ilization again,  and  for  the  present  has 
his  headquaiters  in  the  Commerce 
Building,  Chicago.  He  sends  ns  a 
mighty  interesting  and  thoughtful  let- 
ter, and  while  waqching  his  flock  by 
night  lias  evidently  not  been  letting  the 
man  in  the  moon  throw  any  star  dust  in 
his  eyes.  He  continues  to  report  him- 
self engaged  as  in  sexennial  Record  but 
gives  no  inkling  as  to  when  the  round- 
up will  occur,  and  he  will  assume  the 
joke.  But  he  can  tell  his  story  best  in 
his  own  words:  I  have  resided  since 
graduation  in  Minnesota,  Montana,  and  ■ 
California.  Occupation,  wool-grower. 
If  you  measure  success  from  a  stand- 
point of  accumulation  and  a  hard  won 
experience  can  honestly  answer,  "yes."' 
How  V  By  possessing  capital  doing  the 
work  of  two  men,  never  thinking  of 
personal  comfort  and  having  as  a  result 
probably  the  grayest  head  of  the  class. 
As  to  politics  I  would  naturally  be  a 
strong  Republican  Protectionist  from 
the  very  nature  of  my  occupation.  I 
am  not  a  Republican  or  a  Protectionist 
not  simply  because  I  happen  to  be  a 
wool-grower  but  from  the  firm  convic- 
tion that  the  principles  of  the  party  tem- 
porarily deposed  from  power  stand  for 
the  greatest  good  of  the  greatest  num- 
ber. The  political  Waterloo  of  last  fall 
was  simply  a  warning  from  the  intelli- 
gence of  the  nation  that  the  carnades  re- 
sulting from  a  long  lease  of  power  must 
be  cleared  away.  To  appreciate  the  full 
wisdom  of  a  protective  policy,  particu- 
larly where  the  benefits  received  are 
indirect  requires  not  only  a  thorough 
mastering  of  the  subject  so  as  to  behold 
things  in  their  true  light,  but  a  certain 
amount  of  patriotism  as  well,  The  pur- 
chasing of  our  rustling  millions  is  a  fix- 
ed quantity  if  ninety  per  cent  of  our 
wants  can  be  supplied  at  home  by  a 
proper  restriction  of  commodities  great- 
er prosperity  must  ensure  than  a  small- 
er per  centage   of  trade  with   the  "bars 


down."  The  hue  and  cry  about  the 
"Markets  of  the  world"  is  all  bosh.  The 
bank  clearings  of  the  "land  of  the  free 
and  the  home  of  the  brave"  exceed  by 
fifteen  billions  of  dollars  the  combined 
clearings  of  the  balance  of  the  world. 
The  reciprocity  ideas  of  our  late  great 
leader  in  conjunction  with  a  wise  pro- 
tective tariff  promise  greater  financial 
prosperty  than  any  free  trade  scheme 
that  holds  out  the  alluring  (?)  prospect 
of  a  fierce  competition  with  the  paid 
and  fed  hirelings  of  the  co  tinent. 
This  subject  can  well  be  the  study  of  a 
lifetime.  Hence  broaching  it  in  a  brief 
letter  can  only  prove  an  exasperation  to 
one  who  is  full  of  it.  As  for  silver  I  be- 
lieve in  a  bis-metallic  standard,  and  the 
financial  education  of  the  commercial 
world  until  a  second  Brussels  Confer- 
ence shall  be  as  much  of  a  success  as 
the  last  was  a  failure.  Restriction  of 
immigration  is  another  necessity  of  the 
hour. 

I  can  only  wonder  that  the  great  lab- 
or organizations  of  the  country,  depend- 
ent so  vitally  for  success  in  every  strike 
upon  the  law  of  supply  and  demand, 
have  not  ere  this  demanded  the  enact- 
ment of  such  a  law.  Such  restriction  in 
conjunction  with  a  happy  policy  of  ar- 
bitration would  forever  prevent  the  re- 
currence of  another  Homestead  horror. 
Prohibition  as  a  Third  Party  movement 
I  don't  consider  wise  or  feasible.  The 
privileges  of  the  franchise  should  not  be 
vested  in  considering  but  one  of  the 
many  important  questions  now  before 
the  people.  Prohibition  in  itself  is  a 
vital  necessity,  but  I  am  afraid  will  nev- 
er be  attained  through  present  methods. 
My  vote  was  cast  for  our  late  President. 

The  main  danger  that  threatens  the 
American  people  in  my  opinion  is  the 
disintegration  that  sooner  or  later  will 
come  from  a  low  standard  of  public  and 
private  morality.  A  false  sentiment 
abounds  among  certain  educated  class- 
es that  politics  is  a  cess-pool  from  which 
to  be   in  proper  form  "they   must  keep 


—30— 


their  skirts  well  drawn."  I  can  not 
help  but  lament  the  words  of  our  possi- 
bly over  intellectual  President,  who 
standing  as  the  head  of  our  Alma  Mater 
voices  the  sentiment  that  philosophy 
and  science  took  his  attention  to  such  a 
degree  that  he  enjoyed  the  privileges  of 
American  citizenship  for  twenty  years 
without  seeking  the  responsibilities  that 
attend  it. 

If  men  of  supposed  breadth  and  learn- 
ing set  such  an  example  for  rising  youth 
to  imitate  the  trend  of  the  body  must 
be  surely  downward.  The  only  remedy 
to  apply  is  proper  education  of  the  re- 
sponsibilities that  fall  to  every  man  who 
desires  to  enjoy  life,  liberty  and  the  pur- 
suit of  happiness.  At  present  I  have  uo 
religious  affiliations.  Have  written 
nothing  but  checks  as  "Cooney"  Peace 
would  say.  As  to  offices  I  have  attained 
nothing  startling.  Am  the  President  of 
the  Sun  River  Sheep  Co.  and  have  held 
a  County  Commissionership.  My  trav- 
els have  been  confined  to  the  western 
end  of  our  country  and  one  trip  around 
the  boundary,  all  of  which  is  too  prosaic 
to  dwell  upon.  With  Chicago  as  head 
quarters  I  shall  pi'obably  attend  the 
"World's  fair."  As  to  being  with  you 
in  June  I  shall  hope  for  that  happi- 
ness." 

The  Secretary  regrets  that  Jim's  lat-

Garmany,  Howard  H.* 

He  tells  us  he  has  little  of  interest  to 
add  to  his  triennial  report.  If  Jim 
Flint  were  only  in  college  now  he  could 
make  love  to  Gumdrop's  brother,  who 
is  in  '!)3.  He  sends  his  cordial  regards 
to  the  class.  His  address  remains  the 
same  in  Savannah,  116  Duffy  St. 

Gilmore,  George  W.*f 

Gill  quills  off  the  following: 
1.  Address  5i3  Gates  Ave.,  Brooklyn, 
N.  Y.     Have  resided  in  Seoul,    Korea, 


Jokohama,  Japan  and   Brooklyn  N.  Y. 

2.  Teaching,  preaching,  magazine 
editor,  general  utility  man.  Can't  say 
about -success. 

3.  Yes.  Nothing  to  add  to  record 
already  given. 

4.  Last  class  record  has  items  you 
wish. 

5.  Mugwump  from  the  word  go. 
(You  know  "Jimmie"  once  said  of  me 
"He's  inclined  to  be  iudepindeut,  but 
he's  not  so  bad  after  all.")  Am  a  free 
trader,  gold-basiser,  pro-chiueser,  anti- 
prohibitioner,  Cleveland  voter,  opti- 
mistic Presbyterian. 

6.  Yes.  Have  wi-ittcn  "Korea  from 
its  capital,  with  a  chapter  on  missions" 
a  booklet  of  some  330  pages,  which  will 
be  out  (I  hope)  is  a  few  days  (this  is 
Oct.  17th.)  Have  a  department  in  the 
Magazine  of  Christian  Literature,  am  a 
reviewer  on  the  staff  of  that  magazine 
and  on  the  "Presbyterian  and  Reformed 
Review."  Occasionally  with  a  maga- 
zine article  on  some  theological  sub- 
ject. Keep  to  athletics,  i.  e.  Lacrosse — 
was  a  "Champion  of  the  U.  S."  in  1891, 
hold  a  medal  to  prove  it.  Other  than 
this  have  neither  glory  nor  (alas) 
"dust"  to  show.  I  helped  contribute 
the  Bibliography  to  the  new  Cyclo- 
paedia of  missions." 

7.  The  class  knows  already  of  my 
travels  in  the  Orient.  My  book  will 
give  further  information  on  that  point. 
(Notice  the  cuteness  of  this  as  an  "ad") 
Hope  to  attend  reunion,  though  I  may 
go  to  Germany  for  a  few  month's  study. 

Green,  Orlando* 

"We  learn  from  a  brother  of  Green 
the  sad  intelligence  that  he  died  of 
pneumonia  at  Jackson,  Miss.,  Feb.  20, 
1888.  When  he  was  taken  away  he  was 
a  Professor  in  Capital  Commercial  Col- 
lege at  Jackson.  He  is  said  to  have 
been  engaged  at  the  time  of  his  death. 
One  of  the  good  things  he  did  for  Jack- 
son was  to  compile  a  directory  of  the 
city.  He  was  an  ardent  Princetonian."

WALTER  D.  GREEN. 


the  Old  North  cow  exploit,  and  of  other 
memories  so  dear  to  the  heart  of  '83, 
greets  us  with  the  pathetic  statement 
"No  glory  in  mine!  I  am  every  day 
practicing  physician,  struggling  as  most 
young  doctors  do.  Honors  come  slowly 
to  us,  as  do  the  ducats  which  are  owed 

UP." 

1  le  gives  his  address  as  1318.  Fifteenth 
St  ,  Philadelphia,  votes  the  Republican 
end  of  his  Australian  kangaroo  ballot, 
believes  in  the  historic  episcopate,  is 
engaged  and  hopes  to  be  married  be- 
fore, 1908,  our  twenty  fifth  reunion. 

He  is  Surgeon  in  three  of  the  Phila. 
hospital,-,  medical  Examiner  to  the  Mut- 
ual Life  Ins  Co.  Assist.  Medical  Inspec- 
tor of  Phila.  Board  of  Health,— almost 
glory  enough  all  at  oue  time,  one  would 
think. 

But  perhaps  it  is  more  "gory"  than 
glory.  He  sees  a  good  deal  of  the  Phila. 
members  of  the  class,  and  belongs  to 
the  Phila.  Alumni  Association. 


Walter  is  trying  to  allure  "the  halt, 
the  lame,  and  the  blind"  to  deposit  their 
shekels  with  him.  He  says  he  is  still 
single  and  unengaged  and  likely  to  re- 
main "statuo  quo."  [See  Trans,  to  Ho- 
race, pp.  4,  11,  44]  He  is  assistant 
surgeon  of  the  Philadelphia  Fire  De- 
partment, surgeon  to  Philadelphia  Out 
Department,  assistant  demonstrator  of 
surgery  at  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania Medical  College,  and  surgical 
registrar  in  Pennsylvania  Hospital.  "I 
see  few  of  the  fellows  but  learn  that 
Billy  Parke  is  making  ducats  and  a 
good  name  for  himself  as  Physician  at 
Grirard  College.  I  met  Neil  Royle  on 
the  street  April,  'Nit,  and  he  told  me  he 
was  'doing  light  comedy'  and  'bringing 
down  the.  house  nightly  for  a  small  sti- 
pend weekly."  Waller  will  be  glad  to 
welcome  any  '83  man  at  No.  214  South

three  years  iu  the  Paris  schools  of  draw- 
ing and  painting  and  in  the  study  of 
the  old  masters  as  well  as  in  travelling. 
In  1889  he  was  to  be  found  at  No.  26 
Bank  street,  New  York,  where  he  was 
eugaged  iu  teaching  and  illustrating. 
His  silence  ou  the  matters  of  politics 
and  matrimony  is  in  keeping  with  the 
rest  of  his  profession.  No  recent  word 
from  Harry,  even  at  this  date,  May,  '93- 
Will  some  one  send  his  address  to  the 
secretary  V 

Harlan,  James  S. 

•'Jim"  has  been  one  of  the  most  suc- 
cessful of 'S3,  being  a  member  of  the  firm 
Gregory,  Booth  and  Harlan,  the  firm  of 
which  Chief  Justice  Fuller  was  a  mem- 
ber. Every  one  of  his  old  classmates 
will  be  glad  to  hear  of  "Jim's"  pro- 
gress and  to  learn  that  those  manly 
qualities  which  made  him  a  favorite  at 
college,  plus  hard  work  and  brains,  have 
won  for  him  success  in  his  profession. 
He  replies  as  follows: 

1.  Room  1203  Title  &  Trust  Build- 
ing, Chicago.  Since  December,  188-1 
I  have  lived  continuously  in  this  city. 

2.  I  have  been  practicing  law.  Suc- 
cess is  of  course  a  relative  term.  I 
have  progressed  and  ought  to  be  con- 
tent. 

3.  I  am  not  married. 

4.  No  children. 

5.  I  have  taken  but  little  interest  in 
polities.  I  was  opposed  to  the  McKin- 
Ley  bill.  Briefly  my  view  of  the  ques- 
tion is  that  if  the  country  needs  a  par- 
ticular industry,  the  duty  should  be 
high  enough  to  be  an  incentive  to  capi- 
tal and  labor  to  engage  in  it,  but  not 
so  high  as  to  confer  upon  capital  an 
advantage  that  amounts  to  a  special 
privilege,  of  which  labor  and   the   con- 


sumer get  no  share.  Theoretically  1 
am  a  free  trader,  but  practically  that 
seems  neither  possible  nor  wise  in  this 
country.  I  am  down  on  Free  Silver  as 
much  as  auyone  can  be  who  does  not 
know  very  much,  if  anything,  about' 
the  merits  ot  that  discusssion.  I  sup- 
pose that  all  of  us  agree  that  immigra- 
tion should  be  regulated  so  as  to  ex- 
clude undesirable  individuals  or  races. 
I  voted  for  Harrison  in  1892.  I  do  not 
see  that  the  Ainerican  people  are  in 
any  particular  danger.  Perhaps  the 
corruption  that  arises  out  of  our  pres- 
ent municipal  government  is  as  serious 
an  evil  as  any  that  confronts  us. 

6.  No. 

7.  I  shall  of  course  try  to  get  to  our 
Decennial  Reunion. 

8.  Belong  to  the  Chicago  Alumni 
Association. 

9.  I  shall  take  a  copy  of  the  Record 
in  whatever  form  it  is  issued.  I  have 
had  no  photograph  taken  for  years,  but 
shall  try  to  have  one  ready  for  the 
Record.  [We  regret  that  none  came, 
and  we  were  asked  not  to  insert  his 
83  class  photo.] 

10.  See  more  of  Shanklin  and  Taber 
than  any  one  else.  Both  are  doing 
well.  The  latter  has  just  finished  a 
valuable  essay  on  a  legal  question  of 
great  local  interest. 

Harriman,  Oliver.  Jr.  *  | 

In  order  that  '83  may  understand  how 
a  banker  performs  his  arduous  duties 
and  obtain  the  views  of  a  successful 
financier  upon  the  various  questions 
propounded  to  the  class,  we  give 
"Olly's"  letter  in  full: 

"I  am  leaving  for  the  West  to-mor 
row  on  quite  a  long  trip,  and  so  as  to 
be  sure  to  communicate  with  you,  I 
take  a  little  time  now.  I  wish  that  it 
had  been  my  luck  to  see  more  of  you 
and  of  many  of  my  classmates,  but  my 
busy  life  seems  to  have  hindered  it,  but 
old  '.S3  and   Princeton   have   been   con-

OLIVER  HARRIDAN,     JR. 

tinually  in  my  thoughts.  I  suppose 
that  you  would  like  rue  to  answer*  the 
questions  asked  in  your  "Extra"  so  I 
will  do  it  as  concisely  as  T  can. 

1.  O.  J.  Harriman  &  Co..  120  Broad- 
way. Have  resided  since  graduation 
at  Westchester,  N.  Y.,  Tuxedo  Park, 
and  New  York  City. 

2.  Bankers  &  Brokers.  Think  that  I 
have  been  moderately  successful,  do 
not  complain.  It  is  too  embarrassing 
to  say  how  much  I  have  made. 

3  Am  a  staid  married  man.  Married 
Miss  Grace  Carley  of  Louisville,  Ky., 
•'the  best  woman  in  the  world,"  Jan- 
uary 28,  '91,  at  St.  Thomas'  Church, 
New  York  City.  Went  off  on  a  6  weeks 
honeymoon  which  hasn't  stopped  yet. 

4.  No  children. 

5.  Republican,  believe  in  protection, 
but  not  free  coinage  of  silver  nor  the 
Sherman  bill  of  1890 — Harrison. 

6.  Am  Acting  Aide-de-camp  to  Brig. 
Gen.  Louis  Fitzgerald  of  the  First  Bri- 
gade, Trustee  of  the  Continental  Trust 


Co.  and  hold  a  few  other  positious  of 
trust. 

7.  Have  taken  every  opportunity  to 
travel,  when  I  could  get  away  I  went 
somewhei'e  and  saw  something.  Since 
'83  have  been  to  Europe  three  times. 
Travelled  through  Spain  to  the  African 
coast,  spent  two  weeks  in  Venice  and 
Italian  Lakes  and  have  of  course,  gone 
through  London  and  Paris.  Have  been 
to  Cuba  twice  and  South  several  times. 
Start  to-morrow  on  a  tour  of  the 
United  States  in  a  special  train  with 
Dr  W.  Seward  Webb's  party,  to  be 
gone  two  months  or  more,  stopping  to 
see  the  World's  Fair  on  our  way  back. 
My  wife  always  goes  with  me. 

8  Am  a  member  of  the  Princeton 
Club  of  New  York  and  have  influenced 
several  to  go  to  Priuceton. 

9.  I  regret  that  I  cannot  send  my 
photo.  I  haven't  one,  but  haven't 
changed  much.  Still  have  a  beardless 
face,  but  have  grown  a  "little  hair  on 
my  legs"  since  '83.  Would  take  a  Re- 
cord of  '83  at  any  price". 

Thanks  Ol!     A  V  please. 

Harsha,  Albert   K.* 

Bert  sends  us  such  a  characteristic 
and  unique  letter  that  we  quote  the 
most  of  it.  He  says:  "I  owe  you  a 
thousand  apologies  and  as  many  more 
to  every  member  of  our  dear  old  class 
for  failing  to  come  up  to  the  scratch 
and  give  you  a  description  of  my  past 
collegiate  life.  [He  is  more  repentant 
for  his  tardiness  thau  most  of  the  de- 
linquents have  been.]  First  of  all  I 
want  to  thank  you  for  your  kind  w  ords 
in  regard  to  the  fact  that  the  Record 
would  be  incomplete  without  a  word 
from  me.  1  am  egotist  enough  to  be- 
lieve that  the  class  would  be  interested 
in  hearing  from  one  whom  it  saw  tit  to 
elect  to  represent  them  ai-ound  the  old 
cannon  on  class  day.  After  leaving 
Princeton  'Sem'  I  settled  down  at  Ros- 
lyn,  L.  I.,  the  home  of  the  poet,  Bryant, 
where  he  lived  the  last   forty   years  of 


—84- 


his  Life,  and  where  he  died  and  was 
burigd.  He  was  a  constant  attendant 
at  my  church,  although  he  was  never 
inspired  into  writing  any  of  his  master- 
pieces by  hearing  my  flight  of  oratory 
acquired  from  Prof.  Raymond,  nor  was 
he  ever  charmed  into  a  poetic  mood  by 
hearing  'senior  class  glee  club  voice" 
in  th  •  doxology — all  because  he  was 
dead  before  I  reached  the  Switzerland 
of  America,  (as  he  chose  to  name  Ros- 
lyn).  After  spending  two  delightful 
years  there,  I  resigned  my  church  on 
account  of  the  death  of  my  wife  During 
the.  summer  of  '8S  1  filled  my  brother's 
pulpit  in  Omaha.  1  have  scurried 
around  to  find  a  church  that  might  he 
foolish  enough  to  gel  'mashed  on  my 
ecclesiastical  Bgger.'  A  large  church 
in  Keokuk.  la  ,  with  (500  members  and 
a  salary  of  $3, 000.  was  the  tirsl  victim 
of  my  homiletie  onslaught.  I  came  as 
near  getting  that  church  as  the  fellow 
did  in  getting  a  wife.  'I  asked  her  if 
she  would  marry  me  and  she  said  she 
would  not.'  Then  on  May  15  I  was  in- 
stalled over  one  of  the  nicest  little 
churches  in  the  country,  the  Highland 
Park  Presbyterian  Church,  Minneapo- 
lis, Minn.  (Present  address  1893.) 
'Aggressive,  spiritual  and  benevolent.' 
In  October  'SO  I  was  married  to  Miss 
Helen  McLean  of  Newbury,  Ontario, 
Canada,  a  Scotch  lassie  of  royal  plaid 
and  true  blue  Presbyterian  blood  1

cordially  invite  every  '83  man  to  enter 
my  Wild  West  home  and  eat  buffalo 
meat  and  sleep  in  a  blanket  befote  my 
domestic  camp-fire.  The  old  gal 
"Glory"  has  not  'monkeyed'  with  me 
much.  'We  never  speak  as  we  pass 
by.'  Frequently  see  Sam  Davis  and

CHARLES  HEWITT. 

Charlie  together  with  a  few  oilier  of 
our  poverty  stricken  classmates  like 
Este  Fisher  and  Jim  Flint  was  so  eco- 
nomical with  his  note  paper  that  he  well 
nigh  discredited  in  our  eyes  an  other- 
wise readable  letter,  by  writing  on  both 
sides  of  the  page. 

With  an  amount  of  Christian  for- 
bearauce  which  pen  cannot  tell,  we 
have  copied  it   off   in   part   as    follows: 


1.  Present  address:  The  Arlington, 
94  Montague  St.,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y. 

2.  Have  pursued  Electrical  Engi- 
neering, more  specifically  Elec.  R.  R. 
Engineering.  Have  not  grown  rich 
in  the  service,  but  have  not  been  alto- 
gether unsuccessful.  The  enclosed 
card  shows  my  present  official  position 
with  the  great  Electrical  Trust,  viz. 
"Inspector  in  the  Railway  Department 
of  the  General  Electric  Co.,  Edison 
Building,  44  Broad  St.,  N.  Y.  City.'' 

3.  Was  married  on  Sept.  20th  '88 
to  Miss  Helen  Scarborough  of  Trenton, 
N.J 

4.  No  children  to  tell  about. 

5.  Am  a  staunch  Republican,  be- 
cause I  believe  in  protection,  sound 
currency  and  other  principles  of  the 
party,  and  am  well  pleased  with  the 
doings  of  the  party  while  in  power.  [ 
do  not  believe  in  Prohibition,  or  Third 
Party  movements,  and  voted  for 
Ben  Harrison.  I  believe  the  country 
has  most  to  fear  from  foreign  immigra- 
tion and  ring  rule  in  politics,  such  ring 
rule  I  mean  as  Tammany  Hill  exerts  in 
New  York,  even  to  the  extent  of  cor- 
rupting the  Supreme  Court. 

I  am  a  churchman,  being  a  member 
of  what  is  known  as  the  Protestant 
Episcopal  church. 

(5.  Am  a  full  member  of  the  Amer 
iea.ii  Institute  of  Electrical  Engineer- 
ing. Have  written  several  articles  for 
the  Electrical  Journals,  one  of  which 
obtained  sufficient  prominence  to  be 
commented  upon  in  a  long  editorial  iu 
The  Engineering  News  of  London,  Eug. 

7.  My  travels  have  been  numerous 
and  extended,  but  rehearsing  them 
would  not  prove  interesting.  I  hope 
and  expect  to  attend  the  World's  Fair 
and  '83  Decennial. 

I  do  not  see  much  of  any  of  the  boys 
although  there  are  severai  doing  busi- 
ness within  gun  shot  of  my  office  I 
had  the  pleasure  of  attending  Ed. 
Movie's  first  night's  production  of 
"Friends."      Ed.    has     truly     found     a

"friend"  in  this  play  for  ou  the  16th 
of  this  mouth  (Oct.  '92)  I  witnessed  his 
marriage  to  Miss  Fetter — his  Leading 
lady.  "Shorty"  was  at  the  wedding 
with  his  wife.  Shorty  has  grown  fat 
raising  "cows"  in  the  Wild  West. 

The  idea  of  putting  the  pictures  in 
the  record.  I  admire  your  scheme  for 
getting  a  new  collection  of  photos.

VICTOR  LUCAS   HICKS. 

Victor  died  of  pneumonia  at  his  home 
in  the  Palace  Hotel,  San  Francisco,  Cali- 
fornia, in  March,  1887.  NedRoyle,  who 
was  there  about  that  time,  learned  that 
Victor's  death  was  caused  by  taking  a 
sea  bath.  This  is  not  a  sacrilegous  joke 
but  a  sad  fact.  Beiug  in  poor  health 
Victor  went  to  some  watering  place  on 
the  California  coast,  but  the  effect  o* 
the  baths  was  the  fatal  illness.

J.  ASPINWALL     HODGE,  L.  L.  B. 

"Jack"  is  a  lawyer  in  New  York  City 
and  the  '83  lawyers  in  his  city  report 
that  he  has  been  very  successful  iu  his 
profession  having  become  in  particular 
a  very  able  trial  lawyer  and  developed 
a  wonderful  capacity  for  "obfuscating" 
witnesses,  judges  and  the  leaders  of  the 
bar.  His  letter  is  characteristic  in  the 
subtle  points  raised  and  the  general 
way  in  which  everybody  and  every- 
thing is  "sat  upon"  including  "Cook 
County". 

1.  "Busiuess  address  34  Nassau  St., 
N.  Y.  Residence  47  West  72d  St.,  N. 
Y.  Resided  in  Lawrenceville,  Heidel- 
berg and  New  York   since   graduation. 

2.  Teaching  two  years, then  the  study 
and  practice  of  the  law.  If  success  is 
the  attainment  of  an  end,  I  have  not 
succeeded.     If  success  consists  in  grad- 


—37— 


ually  attaining  an  end,  I   believe   I   am 
succeeding. 

3.  Am  married.  Last  record  answers 
all  the  questions  under  this  head,  ex- 
cept that  the  maiden  name  of  my  wife 
should  be  Karr  instead  of  Carr  as  there 
printed,  and  my  children's  names  aad 
births  are  as  follows: 

4.  Charlotte  Morse  Hodge,  May  25, 
1889,  Louise  Karr  Hodge,  July  6,  1890. 
These  two  inherit  all  the  admirable 
traits  of  their  mother  and  some  of  the 
faults  of  their  father. 

5.  1  am  %  democrat  because  I  am  op- 
posed to  the  taxing  of  the  many  for  the 
benefit  of  the  few  and  because  I  believe 
that  the  Republican  party  like  every 
other  in  the  history  of  the  world,  which 
has  had  too  long  a  lease  of  power,  is 
corrupted  and  corrupting.  The  class 
secretary  has  greatly  erred  in  asking 
whether  the  members  of  the  class  are 
for  Protection  or  Free  Trade  as  if  one 
must  be  for  one  or  the  other.  (Excuse 
us  Jack.  Don't  split  hairs.)  I  am  for 
neither  jaud  I  believe  that  the  Demo- 
cratic party  is  for  neither.  Heresy  is 
the  principal  danger  threatening  the 
American  people  because  it  is  basic. 
The  remedy  is  Orthodoxy, — in  religion, 
science,  art,  poetry,  literature,  com- 
merce, business  politics  and  labor.  It 
is  needless  to  add  I  am  an  old  school 
Presbyterian.  I  have  written  a  large 
number  of  books  and  a  still  greater 
number  of  papers,  but  most  of  the  for- 
mer have  been  printed  briefs  and  the 
latter  legal  documents.  I  have  tilled 
no  office  and  the  societies  I  have  joined 
are  merely  of  local  interest;  ( Why  does 
"Jack"  decline  to  refer  to  the  numer- 
ous lectures  he  has  delivered  in  Harlem 
to  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.?)  "The  only  title  I 
have  gained  is  that  of  L.  L.  B. 

7.  I  expect  to  attend  the  World's 
Fair  in  Cook  County  and  '83's  Decen- 
nial Dinner. — The  order  here  should 
have  been  reversed.

Club  of  N.  Y.  and   regularly   attend  its 


meetings  but  don't  meet  many  of  my 
classmates  there. 

!).  Have  the  photos  if  it  is  not  so  late 
as  to  delay  the  publication  of  Record, 
not  otherwise.  Whether  published  in 
record  or  not  have  the  photos  sent  the 
secretary  put  in  aa  album  to  be  the 
class  property  and  have  it  at  the  De- 
cennial and  every  subsequent  reunion. 
It  could  be  kept  in  the  Library — in  '83 
alcove  if  necessary. 

10.  I   have   few  items   of   interest  to 
record  respecting  classmates  although  I 
have  heard  from  or  of,  nearly  all  of  '83. 
Half  a  dozen   of  '83's  brainy   men  have 
recently  (this  is  hearsay)  stated   that 
they  had  done   so   much  for   Princeton 
in  the  past  that  they  did  not  feel  that 
they  could    do    much  for    her    now, 
especially  as  Princeton    ha  I  done  little 
for  them.     Of   course,    Princeton   owes 
these  men   a  debt  for    having  been  al- 
lowed to   grace  -her    walls   with   their 
names,     but  for     myself   my   debt     to 
Princeton  is  greater  than  can  be  paid," 
(It  makes  us  sad  to  think  that   notwith- 
standing his  legal  training,  "Jack"  has 
never  fully  destroyed  that  virgin  mo- 
desty   and    spirit    of    self    abnegation 
which  so  interfered  with  his  being  fully 
appreciated  while  in  college)    "and  as 
the  possessor  of  this  feeling,  I  believe  I 
am  very  far  indeed  from  being  among 
the  minority  of  '83.     I  love  to   meet,  as 
I  have  recently,    such  class  and   college 
enthusiasts    as    Colt,     Lewis,    Bryant, 
Field,     Roberts,    Grouse     and     Moore. 
The  staple  metropolitan   ennui  has  not 
covered  them  with  its   frigid  monotone 
of  green  moss  and  stiff  lichen. — You  see 
Bryant  has   been  talking  to   me  of  Arc- 
tic scenery. — The  sum  of  all  this  is  that 
it  seems  to  me  that  a  few  of  '83  are  get- 
ting old  and  are  drying  up  into  the  sear 
and  yellow,    and  the   writer   hopes  the 
Decennial  will  freshen  them  up  a  bit  es- 
pecially if  the  '83  class  gathers  in  force 
and  there  is  the  flow  of  spirit  that  there 
should  be."

Hoskins,  Rev.  Frank   Evans. 

The  class  receives  no  information  re- 
garding her  sons  with  more  ardent  in- 
terest than  they  glean  from  Hoskins' 
remarkably  interesting  letter.  He  is 
making  History  for  the  Church,  for 
the  cause  of  christian  civilization,  for 
Syria,  and  bringing  credit  to  Princeton 
as  few  other  men  are.  We  give  him 
all  the  space  he  desires. 

1.  Zahleh,  Syria.  Beirut  three  years, 
New  York  two  years,  and  Zahleh  five 
years. 

2.  First  I  taught  three  years  in  the 
Syrian  Protestant  College  at  Beirut, 
then  I  studied  Theology  in  New  York 
for  two  years  and  now  for  five  years  I 
have  been  a  Missionary.  As  to  "suc- 
cess" I  cannot  say  very  much  until 
after  accounts  are  balanced  beyond  the 
stars. 

3.  Yes,  I  am  a  married  man.  I 
went  to  Sidon,  the  oldest  city  in  the 
world,  and  persuaded  Miss  Harriette 
Mollison  Eddy  that  I  was  her  best  por- 
tion in  life.  Then  I  ran  over  to  New 
York  for  the  two  years  mentioned  and 
after  I  had  my  seminary  parchment  li- 
cense, ordination,  commission  and  pass- 
port I  hurried  over  the  ocean  for  the 
seventh  time  and  reached  Syria  via  Italy 
and  Alexandria  about  as  fast  as  steam 
would  carry  me.  I  reached  Beirut  one 
lovely  moruing  in  August,  1888,  and  re- 
mained just  30  hours,  long  enough  for 
the  minister  to  say  the  necessary  words 
and  the  U.  S.  Consul  to  wave  the  Star 
Spangled  Banner.  Then  we  sailed 
away  to  Switzerland  via.  Italy  and  after 
a  rest  of  two  months  we  alighted  in 
Zahleh,  or  Eagle's  nest  or  Lebanon, and 
here  we  are  still.  And  this  is  how  it  all 
came  about. 

To  Miss  Harriette  Mollison  Eddy  of 
Sidon,  Syria.  Wedding  at  Beirut, 
Aug.  20,  1888. 

4.  Three  children,  two  little  girls 
still  with  us  ami  one  little  boy  in  heav- 
en.   Tho^e  of  '83  who  have  stood  over 


little  graves  know  the  meaning  of  that 
last  brief  phrase. 

Jeanuette  Ives  Hoskins, born  at  Sugul 
Gharb,  Sept.  28,  1889.  Horace  Eddy 
Hoskins,  born,  Sugul  Gharb,  June  20, 
1891,  died  Sugul  Gharb,  Aug.,  3,  1891. 
Clara  Bradley  Hoskins,  born,  Zahleh, 
Nov.  1,  1892. 

To  those  who  remember  me  best  as 
standing  on  my  head,  walking  an  my 
hands,  turning  a  "back-away"  for  the 
bar,  or  somersault  between  the  trapeze, 
I  may  say  that  Jeannette  is  a  "chip 
off  the  old  block."  She.  is  a  sunny  little 
Syrian  maiden  and  she  began  to  ride 
before  her  father  when  she  was  nine 
months  old.  She  speaks  Arabic  better 
than  I  can  ever  hope  to  do  and  of 
course  English  as  well  as  I  could  at  her 
age. 

Clara  is  a  "kicker"  at  two  months 
and  I  have  great  hopes  that  she  will 
follow  in  Jeannette's  footsteps. 

Both  are  good,  and  in  that  resemble 
their  father — sic ! 

5.     I  am  an  Independent. 

I  believe  in  Free  Trade. 

I  do  not  believe  in  the  free  coinage  of 
.silver. 

I  believe  that  Immigration  ought  to 
be  regulated  and  many  refused  admit- 
tance though  I  am  sure  that  any  at- 
tempt at  such  will  be  thorney  work. 

I  do  not  believe'  in  Prohibition  as  a 
'  third  party  movement,"  much  as  I 
favor  Prohibition.  It  would  be  a  nar- 
i*ow  plank  on  which  to  rest  a  national 
party. 

Alas!  I  could  not  vote  in  1892. 

I  think  that  the  American  people  ai'e 
threatened  with  danger  from  Immigra- 
tion, from  ignorant  Catholic  foreigners, 
and  from  the  Jesuits.  Our  safety  lies 
in  our  common  school  system  and  the 
great  work  of  all  Evangelical  churches. 

I  have  not  found  it  hard  to  walk 
within  Presbyterian  lines.  I  see  less 
and  le>s  reason  for  these  prickly  wire 
fences  which  separate  Evangelical  de- 
nominations.    The   best   possible    base 


—39— 


of  union  will  be  that  of  honest  Christ- 
ian work,  doing  good  to  all  men. 

I  have  written  many  newspaper  and 
magazine  articles  and  no  books  except 
account  books.  Some  of  my  articles 
gave  me  an  honorable  election  as  mem- 
ber of  the  Victoria  Institute  or  Philos- 
ophy Society  of  Great  Britain.  Very 
little  gold  has  rolled  into  my  coffers 
but  I  have  enjoyed  literary  work  and 
only  wish  I  had  more  time  for  such 
things. 

7.  My  travels  are  rehearsed  in  the 
Sexennial  and  since  I  have  not  been  out 
of  Syria  since  then  I  cannot  add  much 
to  that  record.  I  have  continued  ray 
mountain  climbing  by  winter  and  by 
sinnmer  and  have  had  more  than  one 
thrilling  experience  in  storm  and  sun- 
shine. In  this  good  year  of  1892  I  have 
spent  nearly  200  days  in  the  saddle,  fac- 
ing all  weathers  and  riding  at  all  hours 
of  the  day  and  night.  My  strength 
holds  out  and  I  am  happy  in  my   work. 

If  some  one  of  the  nabobs  of  '83  will 
send  me  an  invitation  with  a  good  sized 
check  in  it  I  will  attend  the  World's 
Fair  and  '83  Decennial  also.  But  in  the 
absence  of  the  check  I  must  slay  in  my 
mountain  home. 

8.  I  am  uol  a  member  of  any  Alum- 
ni Club.  1  shall  never  fail  to  try  and 
send  good  men  to  Princeton,  but  I  can- 
not promise  t<>  form  an  Alumni  Assoc- 
iation just  now!! 

9  I  will  take  a  copy  of  the  Record 
pictures  or  no  pictures.  If  I  can  se- 
cure a  picture  of  myself  in  time  I  shall 
send  it  along. 

10.  I  have  not  seen  an  '83  man  for 
live  years  ami  so  cannot  add  any  items 

The  following  which  explains  itself. 
we  insert  here  knowing  the  Class  will 
follow  with  interest  Frank  as  he  goes 
about  his  work. 

Dear  Dr.  Gillespie,  Secretary  For- 
eign Board  of  Missions: — This  waning 
month  of  Dei-.,  '92,  coupled  with  Sec- 
tion 33  of  the  Manual  reminds  me  that  it 
is  time  to  make  my  annual  "confession" 


to  the  Board.  I  suppose  I  must  present 
a  plain  unvarnished  tale  leaving  all  de- 
ductions and  inferences  to  other  times 
and  places. 

I  shall  begin  with  my  mercies.  I  have 
enjoyed  excellent  health  and  have  not 
known  an  hour  of  sickness.  I  have  not 
postponed  a  journey  or  changed  a  plan 
on  account  of  wind  or  weather  and  God 
has  brought  me  safely  through  dangers 
seen  and  unseen. 

Because  my  colleague  is  still  immers- 
ed in  the  swamps  and  entangled  in  the 
snares  of  Arabic  grammar,  I  have  will- 
ingly borne  the  greater  part  of  the  sta- 
tion work. 

The  treasury  and  all  book  accounts, 
with  the  care  of  mission  property,  the 
secular  work  of  the  station  has  falle  n 
almost  wholly  to  my  care. 

I  have  preached  at  43  regular  Sunday 
services  with  prayer  meetings  and  vil- 
lage conferences  innumerable. 

I  have  conducted  9  communion  ser- 
vices and  have  baptized  10  little  child- 
ren. It  has  so  happened  that  I  have 
not  officiated  at  either  a  wedding  or  a 
funeral. 

I  have  a  record  of  100  visits  to  our 
own  outstations  where  my  stay  varied 
from  a  few  hours  to  six  or  seven  days. 
1  visited  also  some  10  stations  of  the 
Sidon  field. 

My  record  of  native  calls  maiuly  in  L. 
reaches  327,  a  number  well  within  the 
actual  facts.  I  have  entertained  callers 
innumerable  at  the  expense  of  time, 
patience  and  other  work. 

I  preached  once  in  English  to  the 
students  of  the  Syrian  Protestant  Col- 
lege. At  the  invitation  of  the  Sidon  Sta- 
tion I  delivered  the  annual  address  at 
the  Seminary  Commencement    in  May. 

I  have  given  8  magic  lantern  enter- 
tainments in  as  many  of  our  outstations 
and  one  at  the  Seminary  and  Academy 
in  Sidon. 

I  have  assisted  at  the  direction  of  the 
union  in  the  revision  of  the  Schedule  of 
of  Studies  now  used  in  nearly  all  our 
mission  schools.

Gover anient  troubles  have  cost  me 
not  less  than  four  mouths  harassing  and 
trying  work  with  frequent  journeys  to 
Baalbec.  Damascus  and  Barab.  God 
opened  very  unexpected  floors  of  deliv- 
erance and  gave  me  success.  It  cost 
many  rebuffs  and  insults,  many  days  of 
riding  in  the  heat  and  dust  of  summer, 
during  a  period  of  two  months  to  reop- 
en the  Ras  Baalbec  school  which  was 
legally  closed  in  the  hope  that  we  would 
pay  tribute.  For  18  months  we  have 
been  trying  for  permission  to  repair 
and  reroof  the  schools  in  Jedutha  and 
Seyhbrie.  Just  six  days  ago  we  finish- 
ed the  new  iron  roof  at  Jedutha  and 
we  have  partly  succeeded  in  Seyhbrie. 
This  Government  business  does  seem 
the  most  unnecessary  as  it  is  certainly 
the  most  trying  of  all   our   experiences. 

The  days  of  the  year  1892  are  said  to 
be  365 — I  could  not  accept  that  were  it 
not  on  the  very  best  authority,  since 
they  have  down  like  lightniug  by  me. 
I  have  takea  no  vacation  and  have 
spent  all  those  days  within  the  bounds 
of  missions.  I  made  two  visits,  oae  of 
15  aad  auother  of  18  days  to  the  Sidou 
field  helping  Mr.  Ford  in  the  absence 
of  Mr.  Eddy. 

My  diary  tells  me  that  of  the  365  days 
I  spent  199  outside  of  Zahleh,  sleeping 
159  nights  away  from  my  own  home.  I 
spent  9  days  beside  in  Quarantine  in  or- 
der to  attend  the  annual  meeting  of  last 
February.  These  days  and  nights  away 
from  home  were  not  spent  in  palace 
hotels  or  sleeping  cars,  but  in  places  of- 
ten damp  and  cold  and  rarely  comfor- 
table or  clean. 

My  journeys  have  carried  me  over 
2,400  miles,  2,100  of  which  were  made 
in  the  saddle  in  all  weathers  and  at  all 
hours  of  the  day  and  night. 

My  heart  sinks  at  the  meanness  of  the 
few  facts  that  are  tangible,  not  to  men- 
tion sorrow  at  the  nieagi'eness  and  the 
still  more  intangible  nature  of  the  re- 
sults. It  is  not  the  things  accomplished 
that  have  cost  most,  but  the  knowledge 


of  the  many  things  left  undone  and  the 
things  apparently  within  reach  and  yet 
unattainable.  I  leave  the  results  with 
God  and  bear  willing  witness  to  the 
constant  joy  and  growing  preciousness 
of  the  service  for  such  a  Blessed  Master 
whom  not  having  seen  we  love. 

I  have  published  some  10  articles  in 
the  periodicals  and  have  written  some 
20  letters  to  Churches  and  Bands. 

Howell,  George  C. 


GEORGE  C.  HOWELL. 

Our  good  natured,  smiling  Here, 
surprised  the  Secretary  one  day  in  Al- 
bion by  a  visit,  and  was  given  a  warm 
welcome  as  every  '83  man  finds  waiting 
him.  Here,  has  developed  and  we  were 
delighted  to  see  him.  He  "tells  us  of 
himself"  in  these  brief  sentences: 

Dear  Rudd:  On  my  return  from  a 
business  trip  I  find  yours  of  the  25th 
inst  awaiting  me  and  not  being  able  to 
withstand  the  look  of  long  suffering 
patience  in  "half  tone"  on  your  "3d 
and  Last  Call,"  immediately  seize  your 
examiuatiou  paper  and  start  in. 


-41— 


First.  Our  home  as  last  reported  is 
No.  286  Roseville  Ave.,  Newark,  N.  J., 
and  the  latch  string  is  always  out. 

Business  same.  Imported  wines  and 
wholesale  liquors.  If  success  is  count- 
ed in  dollars  I  am  still  after  it. 

Third.  Married  Sept  28th,  1886  at 
Newark,  N.  J.  to  Mary  Alice  Streit. 

Fourth.  Richard  Streit  Howell, 
born  Aug.  1st,  1887;  died  March  4th, 
1890.  George  Samuel  Howell,  born 
Aug.  25th,  1889;  second  edition  of  his 
daddy  but  a  sturdy  little  fellow  and 
hope  the  handicap  will  not  be  too  much 
for  him;  Princeton,  1909.  Katharyn 
Howell,  born  Dec.  10th,  1891;  just  like 
her  mother  and  just  right. 

Fifth.  Politics:  I'm  a  Republican 
first  perhaps  because  my  father  was 
before  me,  and  because  I  think  the 
leaders  of  the  Republican  Party  are 
brainier  men  and  better  fitted  to  look 
after  the  financial  and  commercial  in- 
terests of  the  country.  I  also  think 
there  is  more  education  and  truer 
American  spirit  in  the  rank  and  file  of 
the  Republican  Party. 

I  believe  in  a  fair  protective  tariff,  a 
paper  currency  always  redeemable  at  its 
face  value  in  gold,  with  silver  coinage 
sufficient  to  meet  the  requirements  of 
commerce,  an  unlimited  silver  coinage 
I  believe  will  send  gold  to  a  premium 
and  create  a  commercial  pauic. 

Prohibition  is  beautiful  as  a  theory 
but  I  have  seen  how  it  does  not  work 
in  Maine,  Iowa  and  Kansas. 

Voted  for  Harrison  and  Reid.  Pres- 
byterian. 

Sixth.  No  book,  no  office,  no  glory, 
but  after  the  dust  like  four-fifths  of  the 
present  generation;  and  Seventh,  have 
been  over  the  greater  part  of  the  Unit- 
ed States  looking  for  it.  Expect  to  at- 
tend the  World's  Fair,  and  health  per- 
mitting, will  surely  attend  '83's  Decen- 
nial. 


Jennison,  George  B.*f 


GEORGE   B.  JENNISON. 

In  his  steady  plodding  way,  charac- 
teristic of  college  clays,  Jenny  passes 
his  life  in  Chicago.,  He  is  a  successful 
broker  in  grain  and  stocks,  and  is  evi- 
dently a  confirmed  bachelor  both  from 
principle  and  habit.  He  is  with  Geo. 
C.  Waller  &  Co.,  98  Board  of  Trade. 

Jones,  Wm.  Goodrich 

No.  '83  man  has  done  more  for  the 
country  in  which  he  has  settled  than 
"Our  Billy".  He  is  President  of  the 
National  Bank  in  Temple,  Texas;  Pres. 
of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  which  he  helped  to 
found,— and  holds  many  positions  of 
honor  and  trust.  We  regret  not  to 
have  his  phiz  to  note  the  mature  and 
growing  man.— Hear  ye  him! 

"Your  sweet  mug  to  hand,  will  crown 
you  queen  of  the  May.  Don't  run  any 
"Patient  Sec"  on  me— I've  borne  with 
you,  oh!  so  patiently.  You  should  see 
my  medals,  The  "W.  Goodrich  Jones 
oratory  medals"  given  every    year    to 


-42- 


graduating  class, Public  School,  oue  to 
boy  and  one  to  girl.  Big  oratory  contest 
in  our  Opera  House.  Remind  you  of 
the  J.  O.  I  then  award  the  medals  to 
slow  music.  We  have  big  times  in  this 
young  town — 7000  people  here  now 
and  still  a  coming.  I'm  an  old  citizen. 
My  boy  is  16  months  old  and  can  say 
"Fresh  fire  round  the  cannon-fresh- 
fresh-fresh." 

I  believe  in  an  infinite  God  and  the 
answering  of  prayers.  I  was  long 
sceptical  of  this  latter,  but  have  had 
signal  and  to  me  unmistakable  answers. 
Of  course  my  so  called  "answers"  can 
be  reasoned  away,  but  I  think  it  more 
unreasonable  to  attempt  to  do  this  than 
to  accept  them. 

Politics.  Am  for  Cleveland;  only 
want  protection  for  revenue  and  infant 
industries.  Bimetallic  special  basis. 
1  fear,  above  all  evils  the  Roman  Cath- 
olic efforts  to  pull  down  our  public 
schools.  I  believe  in  high  license.  I 
believe  in  crushing  politically  all  affili- 
ated with  Tammany.  I  write  occasion- 
ally to  the  Galveston  News.  Can't  say 
how  readable  they  are  but  they  print 
them. 

Am  considered  in  Texas  the  "leading 
crank"  on  forestry  and  tree  planting. 
I  organized  "Arbor  Day"  in    this   state. 

I  enclose  a  lullaby  rhyme  of  my  recent 
muse,  I  also  put  it  to  music,  which  I 
think  beats  the  words.  Young  William 
Goodrich  is  the  muse  inspired  I  will 
be  at  the  World's  Fair— babe,  wife  and 
Penates. 

I  travel  quite  a  good  deal.  Was 
wrecked  in  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  several 
years  back — on  the  coral  reefs  of  tl  e 
old  Fort  "Dry  Tortugas."  Got  safely  to 
Key  West,  Fla  .  in  a  "wreckers"  fishing 
smack. 

We  are  talking  of  organizing  an  Al- 
umni Association  in  Texas. 

Yes  will  take  a  book  at  $3  to  $5" 

I  hope  dear  Ruddy  this  will  satisfy 
your  cravings — may  be  it  is  too  much  if 
so,  run  your  pencil  through.      Hope  all 


fares  well  with  you.  1  see  Royle  is 
married.  All  lovely  with  me  and  mine. 
Am  very  busy  and  very  happy. 

Billy  sends  an  interesting  P.  S.  as 
follows,  dated  May  1.'93 

I  lived  in  Galveston  at  tirst,  attending 
to  my  fathers  landed  estate  in  Texas. 
Have  caught  fair  "succes."  Greatest 
strike  was  the  girl  I  got,  and  young 
"Texas  Billy,"  who  is  about  a  year  old. 
I  married  Zollie  Luther,  daughter  of 
Rev.  J.  H.  Luther,  D.  D.,  President  of 
Baylod  (Texas)  Female  College — (Bap- 
tist). 

Am  a  Presbyterian,  although  I  have 
built  a  Baptist  Mission  Chapel  in 
Temple  and  attend  it.  I  don't  believe 
in  the  dogmas— doubts  and  "isms" 
that  divide  up  the   Protestant   church. 

Later.  The  sad  message  reaches  us 
that  Billy's  bright  boy  died  May  6th, 
1893.

GEORGE  N.   KAKNEK. 


It  will  be  remembered  that   Duck  as 
the  presiding  genius  at  3  North  East, 


—43- 


started  way  down  on  the  ground  floor 
of  the  synagogue,  but  he  has  been  going 
up  higher  ever  since. 

The  four  years  of  his  first  pastorate  at 
Manchester  N.  H.  were  spent  pleasantly 
to  him  and  profitably  to  his  people, 
while  for  the  last  three  years  he  has 
been  enjoying  a  most  happy  and  fruit- 
ful ministry  at  the  West  End  Presby- 
terian Church  of  Albany  N  Y.  Nor  is 
he  less  happy  in  his  domestic  life,  hav- 
ing married  Miss.  Emma  L.  Cadmus  on 
June.  15,  1889,  and  now  having  a  young- 
ster to  trot  on  each  knee, — Lenox  Stan- 
ley, born  Nov.  28,  188(J,  and  Clara  Lou- 
isa, born  Feb.  7,  1892. 

He  states  his  ''issues"  thus:  "I  voted 
for  "Benjamin"  in  1888  and  1892,  hence 
I  am  a  Republican  on  National  issues, 
with  strong  leanings  toward  Prohibi- 
tion when  the  will  of  the  people  is  ready 
to  make  Prohibition  prohibit. 

Intemperance  and  the  spirit  of  gamb- 
ling are  the  two  great  evils  that  threat- 
en our  country.  A  quickened  pulpit 
ought  to  act  as  a  remedy." 

"My  pen  has  been  a  busy  one  although 
as  yet  I  have  been  slow  to  rush  into 
print. 

My  travels  have  been  simply  vacation 
trips  North  to  the  White  Mountains, 
South  to  Virginia,  West  to  the  Dakotas. 

I  expect  to  attend  the  World's  Fair 
and  will  be  "there"  at  the  Decennial 
Reunion. 

I  am  a  member  of  the  Albany  Alumni 
Club. 

"Albany.— Nineteen  were  added  to 
the  membership  of  the  West  End  Pres- 
byterian Church,  Albany,  April  6th, 
Rev.  George  N.  Karner  pastor.  At  a 
recent  congregational  meeting  it  was 
decided  to  increase  the  pastor's  salary, 
to  enlarge,  reseat,  and  beautify  the  pres- 
sent  church  structure, and  arrangements 
were  made  looking  forward  to  the  pur- 
chase of  a  parsonage.  The  congrega- 
tion about  doubled  its  contributions  to 
missions  the  past  year.  The  outlook  is 
very  encouraging." 


The  above  is  taken  from  the  ''N.  Y. 
Evangelist"  of  May  11th  1893  and  we  re- 
joice deeply  with  dear  old  "Duck  Ear- 
ner." 

Kellar,  John  L,. 

Kellar  takes  the  request  of  the  Sec'y 
literally  and  uses  only  one  page  in  an- 
swering the  questions. — He  is  pursuing 
that  steady,  strong  course,  which,  while 
not  always  brilliant,  is  sure  to  bring 
success.  The  brevity  of  his  answers 
detracts  nothing  from  it  although  the  ■ 
class  would  gladly  hear  more  from  John 
— He  says: — 

1.  76  Montgomery  St.,  Jersey  City  N. 
J.     In  J.  C.  since  grad. 

2.  Practicing  law.    Success  moderate. 

3.  No.     Getting  too  old  now. 

4.  None. 

5.  Democrat  (on  National  issues). 
Favor  tariff  for  revenue  only. 
Don't  believe  in  Prohib.  as  3d  party. 
Voted  for  Cleveland  in  '92. 
Religious   affiliations   not  as    strong   as 
they  ought  to  be. 

7.  Hope  to  attend  World's  Fair  and 
'83's  Decennial. 

8.  N.  Y.  City  Alumni  and  Club. 

9.  Favor  pictures. 

P.  S.  Don't  expect  these  answers  will 
bring  me  either  1st  or  2d  prize. 

Landis,  Rev.  Evan  H. 

The  East  was  too  dull  and  slow  for  E., 
whose  ''hustling  propensities"  in  col- 
lege led  him  to  seek  the  far  West.  After 
graduating  from  Princeton  Seminary  in 
'86  he  was  successively  in  Collegeville, 
Pa. ;  Ponca  Springs,  Col  ;  and  Neokesha, 
Kan.;  and  is  at  preseut  a  pastor  of  a 
church  at  Linden,  Mich,  Mirabile  Dictu 
Evan  was  married  April  30,  '88,  to  Miss 
Emily  Homer  at  Collegeville,  Pa.  He 
said:  "You  ask  my  reason  for  predica- 
ment. Reason  enough.  My  wife.  I 
fell  in  love  with  her."  For  one  year  E. 
was  professor  of  Hebrew  and  History  in 
Ursinus  College.  He  has  sent  one  man 
to  Princeton.  Evan  is  now  preaching 
at  Linden,  Mich.  (Reprint  from  1889.)

Landis,  Rev.  Henry  M.*f 


REV.  HENRY  M.  LANDIS. 

Just  as  we  were  "going  to  press,"  in 
fact  after  we  had  read  the  proof,  the 
mail  brought  us  the  appended  latest 
news  from  Henry.  He  also  sent  Lis 
photograph  which  was  to  late  for  inser- 
tion. Henry  writes  this  from  Tokio, 
Japan: 

"At  length  though  a  little  late  I  shall 
try  to  respond  to  your  call  which  came 
a  few  weeks  ago.  My  excuse  for  not 
responding  at  once,  is  that  at  the  time 
typhoid  and  diptheria  (in  light  form) 
made  their  claims.  Since  relieved  from 
these  visitors  I  hastened  to  get  the  de- 
sired photo,  which  I  send  along  to  your 
address. 

Without  however  making  demands 
upon  your  busy  time,  I  hasten  to  apply 
myself  to  the  examination  paper  drawn 
up  by  you,  much  afraid  indeed  that  you 
may  find  my  answers  greatly  below  par. 
Hope  you'll  not  be  too  severe  in  mark- 
ing. 

1.  My  jtreseut  address  is  Meiji  Gak- 
nin,  Tokyo,  Japan.     Places  resided   in 


since  graduation  are  as  follows:  Cole- 
brookdale,  Berks  Co.,  Pa.;  Berlin,  Ger- 
many; Princeton,  N.  J.;  Bloomfield,  N. 
J.;  Kamenz,  Saxony,  Germany;  Tokyo-, 
Japan  (five  years  now). 

2.  First,  teacher  in  German  Theolo- 
gical School  at  Bloomfield.  At  present 
a  missionary  under  the  American  Pres- 
byterian Board  of  Foreign  Missions, 
mainly  engaged  in  teaching  in  one  of 
its  institutions,  the  Meiji  Gaknin. 

The  "success"  is  hard  to  fix  or  gauge 
under  the  circumstances.  I  have  not 
yet  by  any  means  succeeded  to  satisfac- 
tion in  conquering  the  Japanese  lang- 
uage, undoubtedly  tlie  hardest  task  ever 
set  for  me  as  well  as  reputed  to  be  the  • 
most  difiicult  language  to  subjugate, 
A  native  Japanese  can  no  doubt  ac- 
quire a  better  mastery  of  English,  say, 
in  four  years  than  of  his  own  language, 
though  raised  and  educated  in  it,  in 
fourteen  years. 

In  general,  work  has  been  pleasant 
enough  here,  hard  and  unceasing  as  the 
effort  may  be  under  many  disadvant- 
ages. Lately  I  have  been  indirectly  in- 
strumental iu  getting  Chas.  Gorei  "In- 
carnation of  our  Lord,"  on  the  way  in- 
to a  Japanese  dress.  Work  ranges  here 
through  language  work,  Evangelistic 
efforts,  architectural  efforts  (quite  a 
number  of  these  through  Tokyo,  in 
Sendai,  Kyato.Kobe  and  even  to  Korea) 
teaching  along  lines  of  Psychology, 
Logic,  Astronomy,  Greek,  German, 
Gospel  History,  Exegesis  of  New  Testa- 
ment Epistles,  and  a  number  of  other 
lines  at  times,  enough  for  an  ordinary 
man  in  most  cases.  Various  secretary- 
ships have  also  made  demands  on  my 
time. 

3.  I  happen  to  be  a  married  man, 
married  to  Mrs.  [  Landis,  nee.  Emma 
Stiefier,  on  July  16,  1888,  in  Kamenz, 
Saxony,  civil  and  church  ceremony,  so 
securely  locked,  in  Lessing's  Church,  a 
building  dating  from  the  12th   century. 

4.  Children  as  follows; 

I.     Fritz  Wilhelm,  born  May   11,    '89, 


—45— 


Tokyo,  died  Feb.  17,  '92  of  tubercular 
meningitis,  aged  2  years,  0  mouths  and 
6  days.  Lived  loug  enough  to  show 
many  marked  traits  of  great  beauty  aud 
depth  especially  iu  artistic  apprecia- 
tion. The  departure  of  the  beautiful 
little  life  was  felt  most  deeply  aud 
many  friends  he  had  made  brought 
their  tributes. 

II.  Eleanor  May,  born  Jan.  9,  '91, 
iu  many  regards  a  reproduction  of  her 
elder  brother.    A  bud  of  much  promise. 

III.  Paula  Margaretha,  born  Nov. 
11, '92,  much  praised  for  her  personal 
qualities  as  far  as  they   have   appeared. 

5.  Not  being  iu  the  U.  S.  my  politics 
are  not  so  partisan  as  to  be  easily  in- 
cluded in  a  name.  A  Republican  by 
preference  and  in  view  of  history,  but 
opposed  to  its  boasted  protective  policy 
in  many  respects.  Would  probably 
join  the  Mugwumps  if  they  suited  me. 
Democratic  record  not  clear  enough  to 
suit.  Like  Cleveland's  strong  attitude 
on  silver,  knowing  by  experience  in  a 
silver  country  what  a  financial  degra- 
dation it  means.  The  U.  S.  have 
not  hi  iiy-  statesmanlike  yet  on  Immigra- 
tion or  Exclusion,  obeying  only  the 
clamors  raised  by  low  passions.  Pro- 
hibition is  right,  no  doubt,  but  seems  to 
do  best  as  a  moral  force  simply.  Would 
have  voted  for  Harrison  most  likely. 
Riches  may  prove  a  snare  for  America. 
The  silver  craze  certainly  is  in  the  way 
of  sound  policy.  "Missionary"  of  the 
American  Presbyterian  Board  indicates 
religious  affinities. 

6.  Have  been  guilty  of  none  of  these 
offeuses. 

7.  My  travels  between  college  and 
seminary  course  are  sufficiently  known 
no  doubt.  My  journey  to  my  present 
home  was  a  great  and  grand  wedding 
trip,  which  also  is  familiar  to  all  who 
care  to  know  perhaps.  Leaving  New 
York  on  June  21,  1888,  I  arrived  at 
Hamburg  and  reached  Berlin  the  fol- 
lowing day,  the  glorious  4th  of  July, 
where   I   hailed   Dr.    Carmen,    '83   aud 


Simmons  and  Jackof  Seminary  fame, 
and  Wilson  (Sem.  too  I  think).  Dres- 
den and  Kamenz  saw  me  the  next  day, 
where  I  had  to  wait  for  the  Saxon 
King's  good  pleasure  and  special  dis- 
pensation before  the  ceremonies  could 
go  on,  uncertain  indeed  whether  His 
Royal  Highness  would  allow  me  to 
steal  away  one  of  the  daughters  of  his 
realm.  The  16th  found  all  ready  how- 
ever, and  all  was  done  amid  circum- 
stances, as  Carmen  could  describe,  the 
only  '83  man  present,  and  the  only 
American  except  two.  Thence  through 
Saxony  to  the  Riesengebirge,  Bohemia, 
etc.,  aud  back  again.  Thence  through 
the  length  of  Germany  and  the  beauties 
of  Switzerland  and  Northern  Italy, 
brought  us  to  our  embarkation  point, 
Venice,  whence  from  Aug.  17th  to 
Sept.  24th  the  sea  was  our  landscape, 
except  such  glimpses  as  were  afforded 
by  Ancoma,  Briudisi,  Port  Said,  Suez 
Canal,  Red  Sea,  Aden,  Colambo,  Pen- 
ary, Singapore,  Hong  Kong  and  the 
approaches  of  Japanese  coast,  especial- 
ly Fuji  San,  the  Peerless. 

The  World's  Fair  seems  out  of  reach 
of  a  poor  missionary's  pocket  except- 
ing such  as  hare  fortunate  furloughs 
enough.     I  am  an  unfortunate. 

'83  Decennial  Reunion,  ditto. 

8.  No  Princeton  Alumni  Club  out 
here,  though  we  may  be  many  enough 
in  Japan  to  have  one.  The  prime 
object, — to  influence  new  students  for 
Princeton, — is  not  an  encouraging  pros- 
pect here. 

9.  I  hope  to  get  a  Record,  whether 
it  cost  $1.50  or  $5,00,  and  shall  try  to 
remember  then  to  reimburse  you  for 
the  last,  which  neglect  was  an  inad- 
vertence. 

10.  Of  classmates  I  see  the  most  of 
none,  and  hear  but  little  of  any.  Hence 
can't  reply  to  this  question.  Princeton 
men  of  other  classes  however  are  abun- 
dant out  here,  of  whom  I  may  instance 
the  venerable  Dr.  Hepburn,  (lately  re- 
turned) Dr.  Jmbrie.    Mr.    MacNair,    (of 


foot  ball  fame)  Mr.  Pierson  '82,  Mr. 
Woodhull  '84  (big  as  life)  and  others, 
especially  of  the  seminary. 
N.  B.  Please  notice  that  I  do  not  intend 
to  compete  for  your  prizes.  I  hope 
my  reply  will  reach  yon  in  time  yet. 
Am  sorry  to  have  delayed  .so  long. 
Much  success  to  you  iu  working  up  the 
record,  and  a  great  deal  to  all  at  the 
Decennial  Reunion.  Should  like  to  be 
there  but  can't. 

Lewis,  Lucius  A.*f 

"Lucy"  writes  us  from  Philadelphia 
dated  Jan.  18, '93  whither  he  had  gone 
to  receive  medical  treatment.  The 
men  who  have  visited  Portland  speak 
of  the  cordial  and  princely  hospitality. 
which  Lewis  so  generously  extends 
"Lucy  the  class  wish  for  you  even- 
possible  gain  in  health  and  avoirdupois 
and  -hope  to  see  you  at  the  reunion. 
The  song  Lewis  sings  is  in  the  key  of  a 
sharp,  as  of  old,  viz: 

My  dear  Rudd:  For  several  months 
I  have  been  away  from  home  and  I 
have  failed  to  get  the  circular  which 
you  doubtless  sent  me.  Bryant  gave 
me  a  copy  however  a  day  or  two  ago. 
T  have  nothing  in  particular  to  tell  you 
that  would  add  much  to  the  interest 
and  value  of  the  Record.  Have  been 
in  Portland  most  of  the  time  following 
the  same  course  of  existence  as  noted 
in  the  past  Records;  with  the  exception 
of  an  occasional  trip  or  two.  Have 
been  here  sevei'al  months  taking  a 
course  of  treatment  as  I  had  run  down 
a  bit  in  health  diu'ing  the  last  few 
years. 

Have  not  had  a  Photo  taken  in  some 
time  but  will  send  you  one  if  I  get  stout 
enough  in  the  face  and  body  to  war- 
rant having  one  taken. 

My  address  is  as  usual,  care  Allen 
and  Lewis,  Portland,  Oregon. 

I  wish  you  success   with   the  Record. 


Libbey,  Frederick  A.*f 


FREDERICK   A.    LIBBEY. 

From  his  brother  and  from  Rutan 
we  learn  that  Fred  has  gone  from 
Moutclair  N".  J.,  where  he  has  been 
living  for  some  time,  and  is  now  in 
Chicago  with  the  A.  T.  &  S.  Fe  R.  R. 
Co.  in  the  Monadnock  Building. 

Fred  is  married,  but  when,  where 
and  to  whom,  we  know  not. 

Life,  John  C 

After  repeated  attempts  we  have  not 
yielded  up  the  ghost,  but  only  failui'e 
has  been  the  result  of  our  attempt  to 
find  Life.  We  hear  he  is  at  Traer, 
Iowa.     Brace  up  Life  and  wi'ite  us. 


McKiiight,  Robert  Jr. 

Bob  who  was  always  a  general  favor- 
ite died  at  Montecito,  Cal.  heb.  14, 
1889.  A  full  account  of  his  life  is  given 
in  the  Triennial  Record. 


-47- 


Merry  weather ,  Thos.  A.* 

The  most  recent  information  we  have 
of  Merryweather  is  that  he  was  in  1889 
in  business  at  Huntington,  Pa.  Further 
information  regarding  him  will  be  glad- 
ly received. 

Mitchell,  Benjamin  W.  Ph.  D. 

Mitchell  has  replied  so  fully  and  ac- 
curately to  the  interrogatories  as  to  re- 
call one  of  those  faultless  recitations 
that  he  used  to  make  in  "Lambauo." 

The  following  is  an  extract: 

'Your  latest  deliverance  at  hand  and 
spurred  on  by  the  munificent  offer  of  a 
nice  lit  le  prize  to  the  spiciest  boy  of. 
our  dandy  little  class,  I  hasten  to  till 
out  my  physicial,  mental,  and  spiritual 
description  list  I  greatly  fear  that  if 
our  good  secretary  is  on  the  lookout  for 
spice,  he  had    better  send  his    blanks  to 


1>R.  BENJAMIM  W.     MITCHELL. 

Wellesley  or  Vassar;  for  according  to 
the  old  jiugle  it  is  not  a  component  of 
the  masculine  nature.  By  this  rhyme 
little  girls  arc  "sugar,  and  spice,  and 
everything  nice,"  while  we  are  "but 
snaps,  and  snails  and  puppy  dog  tails." 


but  here  goes:  nee  bona  morer,  nee 
dona  videbo.  "Drop  your  idea  in  the 
slot  and  pull  out  a  record,"  says  the 
.Secretary.  That's  all  right;  but  we  of 
the  "hoipolloi"  have  no  chance  in  com- 
petition of  wit  with  the  diplomatic 
Crouse  who  was  selected  to  kick  us  out 
into  the  cold,  cold  world;  or  the  potent, 
grave,  and  reverend  Petty,  the  peram- 
bulating bureau  of  statistics;  or  the  scin- 
tillating luminosity  of  the  blizzard-born- 
Yard,  who  "lets  his  light  so  shine"  as  to 
rake  in  boundless  sheckels  from  the 
giver  of  Metropolitian  political  light; 
or  those  heroes  of  the  tropics  and  the 
pole,  C.  Wilson  and  Bryant,  or  last,  but 
not  least,  that  electrically  illumined 
fountain  of  poesy,  Perriue,  whose 
sentimental  journey  to  the  Windy  City 
knocks  that  of  Lawrence  Sterne  into  a 
cocked  hat.      But  to  the  interrogations. 

1.  My  present  permanent  address  is 
146  Franklin  St.,  Alleghany,  Pa.  Have 
lived  in  Alleghany  ever  since  gradua- 
tion. 

2.  I  have  followed  the  profession  of 
teaching.  I  established  a  preparatory 
school  in  Alleghany,  which  I  have  re- 
cently transferred  to  Pittsburg.  The 
East  Liberty  Academy  yearly  sends 
students  to  all  ourprominent  colleges  — 
most  of  them,  I  am  happy  to  say,  to 
Princeton.  As  to  the  catching  of  suc- 
cess, there  arc  too  many  shades  of  mean- 
ing attached  to  that  word  to  give  a  defi- 
nite answer.  I  may  state,  however, 
that  I  have  not  become  a  millionaire, 
have  not  become  famous,  and  have  not 
starved. 

3.  I  was  married  on  Dec.  31,  1884,  at 
Cumberland,  Md.,  to  Miss  Annia  Lee 
Edwards.  As  she  is  still  in  excellent 
health  and  has  not  yet  applied  for  a  di- 
vorce, I  believe  I  can  safely  state  that  I 
am  a  married  man. 

4 ! 

5-  I  am — or  have  been  hither  to — a 
Republican,  because  I  believe  that  the 
principles  of  this  party  will,  if  honestly 
applied,    conduce  to    the  growth,   pro- 


—48— 


gress  and  prosperity  of  the  nation  and 
because  I  see  what  the  application  of 
these  principles  has  done  for  the  countiy 
since  1861.  I  am  a  Protectionist,  be- 
cause, while  I  freely  admit  that  Free 
Trade  is  the  ideal  basis  of  the  inter-re- 
lation of  nations,  I  hold  that  the  human 
race  and  it?  actions  and  best  interests 
can  never  be  regulated  by  theory.  What 
we  need  is  that  theories  be  modified  or 
even  brushed  away  to  suit  the  practical 
needs  of  industry.  Granting  even  that 
the  tariff  is  a  tax,  what  method  can  be 
preferred  to  that  which,  while  resting  as 
an  infinitesimal  on  all,  gives  a  means  of 
suppoi't — to  hundreds  of  thousands." 
(Alas!  after  all  these  years  Benny  seems 
to  think  he  is  passing  an  examination 
on  political  economy  under  "Chris" 
Hamilton.)  As  to  silver,  I  believe  the 
question  will  continue  to  disturb  our 
finances  till  settled  in  some  way  by  the 
concurrent  action  of  the  U.  S.  and  the 
great  nations  of  Europe.  We  cannot 
manage  the  question  alone.  I  most  em- 
phatically do  not  believe  in  Prohibition 
as  a  third  party  movement.  I  voted  in 
1892  for  Harrison.  The  only  serious 
danger  I  can  see  before  the  American 
people  is  the  labor  problem,  the  phases 
of  which  are  too  numerous  to  partic- 
ularize. I  leave  the  remedies  for  time 
to  suggest  and  wire  pulling  politicians 
to  apply.  As  to  religious  affiliations,  I 
am  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church. 

6.  Have  written  a  little,  but  not  of  a 
sufficient  importance  to  chronicle. 
Have  filled  no  office  and  don't  want  to. 
Am  a  member  of  the  Royal  Arcanum, 
the  Western  Pennsylvania  Society  for 
University  Extension,  the  Western 
Union  of  Pittsburg.  Have  taken  the 
Ph.  D. 

7.  As  to  travels,  we'll  leave  those  to 
"Tape"  Byrant.  Mine  have  been  lim- 
ited to  sundry  trips  outside  of  civiliza- 
tion (approximately  speaking")  (He 
probably  refers  to  Cumberland,  Md., 
the  old  home  of  his  uncle,  "Lord 
John.") 


Moore,  Russell  W.* 

Since  graduation  "Rusty"  has  chiefly 
resided  in  New  York  City.  He  writes 
that  he  has  pursued  the  profession  of 
"analytical  chemist"  serving  the  New 
York  State  Dairy  Commission  in  that 
capacity.  Had  charge  of  the  testing 
of  Sugar  at  the  Port  of  New  York  until 
sugar  was  made  free  by  the  McKinley 
law.  Since  then  have  been  examiner 
of  drugs,  chemicals  and  dyestuffs  in 
the  Appraisers  departments.  Am  also 
a  member  of  the  New  York  custom 
Board  of  Civil  Service  Examiners.  Not 
married,  can  cite  no  reason  good  or 
otherwise.     May  be  I  am  to  young." 

"He  is  a  Republican,  Protectionist 
and  opposed  to  "free  coinage".  Does 
not  believe  in  Prohibition  as  a  political 
issue.  The  work  sought  to  be  done  is 
a  matter  of  education  which  should  be 
accomplished  through  the  school  and 
church." 

"Have  been  an  office  holder  ever 
since  leaving  Princeton,  first  as  chemist 
to  the  New  York  State  Dairy  Commis- 
sion up  to  July  1888  and  from  that  time 
examiner  of  chemicals  under  the  U.  S. 
Appraiser  at  New  York.  Am  also  a 
member  of  the  New  York  Customs  Civil 
Service  Board.  Have  written  some 
papers  of  a  scientific  nature  for  chemi- 
cal journals.  Am  a  member  of  the 
University  Club  and  Princeton  Club  of 
New  York  and  of  some  Masonic  bodies; 
was  master  of  Merchants'  Lodge  No., 
709  in  1889.  The  only  thing  in  the  na- 
ture of  glory  I  can  recall  is  the  thanks 
of  the  U.  S.  Civil  Service  Commission 
for  the  examination  of  some  chemical 
papers  which  were  a  matter  of  protest 
and  were  submitted  to  me  for  final  re- 
port. 

My  travels  have  been  principally 
around  New  York  State  with  occasional 
trips  South  and  East.  One  summer 
(1884)  "was  spent  in  England  and  Scot- 
land. Will  possibly  attend  the  World's 
Fair,  and  '83  Decennial  surely. 

Am  content   to   leave    the   details   of 


—49- 


the  Record  to  the  Committee  ami  will 
thankfully  accept  at  any  price  what- 
ever they  may  decide  to  issue." 

Morgan,  David  Percy 

Percy  tucks  our  queries  under  his 
arm    and   starts   out   for  a  touchdown. 

My  dear  Rudd:  Since  I  met  you  on 
the  train,  I  have  been  working  hard 
for  a  permanent  address,  having  done 
nothing  but  wauder  about  ever  since 
'83.  That  address  is  106  East  37th  St. 
New  York  City,  I  hope.  1  have  resided 
in  New  York,  Washington  and  New 
York  again.  Then  I  left  these  parts 
for  the  West  having  taken  a  previous 
trip  through  every  State  in  the  Union 
with  Taber.  Taber  thought  he  would 
like  to  settle  in  some  small  town  of 
10,000  inhabitants  where  he  could  be 
the  man  of  the  place.  The  poetry  of 
his  resolutions  completely  vanished 
after  he  had  seen  these  small  towns. 
Poor  Taber,  after  standing  so  high  in 
Granny  Hunt's  specialties  his  sensitive 
ear  could  not  submit  to  the  mutilated 
English  of  the  Western  small  town,  and 
the  peculiar  methods  of  placing  their 
feet  on  their  desks  above  the  horizontal 
with  coats  off,  and  cigars  to  boot.  Last 
but  not  least,  no  music.  This  trip  with 
Taber  was  a  grand  one  and  I  enjoyed 
every  moment  of  it.  We  met  Lucy 
Lewis  in  Portland  and  he  treated  us 
royally.  1  dropped  Taber  at  Chicago 
where  he  has  remained,  and  came  East 
fully  imbued  with  the  Western  fever. 
I  am  afraid  this  does  not  speak  well  for 
my  sensitive  nature  after  the  above  ac- 
count. However  I  was  fortunate 
enough  to  become  married  to  Miss 
Edith  Parsons,  Oct.  7th  1886  at  Lenox, 
Mass.  who  was  willing  to  try  the 
West.  We  travelled  every  whei'e  on 
this  side  and  were  very  much  tempted 
to  settle  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Clair  Royle 
was  so  nice  and  kind  to  us  there.  Ed 
was  on  a  "Starring"  trip  and  we  missed 
him.     The  fates  called   us  nevertheless 


to  Chicago  where  I  tried  mercantile  life. 
I  walked  myself  to  a  shadow,  and  that 
is  all  I  had  to  show  for  it.  It  is  not  my 
nature  to  do  this  sort  of  thing  vei-y  long 
so  I  dropped  mercantile  life  after  18 
months  drudgery.  I  was  very  strongly 
impressed  with  Chicago  as  a  center, 
and  did  not  want  to  leave  the  place.  I 
thought  the  Real  Estate  business  ought 
to  have  its  advantages.  I  went  in  and 
have  not  jet  lived  to  regret  it.  After 
remaining  three  years  in  Chicago,  I 
drifted  back  to  the  East  and  here  I  am 
in  the  Real  Estate  business  in  this  city 
as  well  as  the  West.  I  have  two 
daughters,  one  born  in  Chicago  Nov. 
13,  1888,  Helen  by  name,  the  other 
Edith  Percy,  born  Nov.  9,  1891.  My 
politics  have  not  changed.  I  do  not 
sympathize  with  the  third  party  move- 
ment. After  knocking  around  as  much 
as  I  have,  I  take  a  very  optimistic  view 
of  the  condition  of  the  American  peo- 
ple. Outside  of  some  possible  currency 
complications  I  can  see  no  dangers 
ahead.  Congress  can  apply  the  rem- 
edy. Have  joined  the  Chicago  Literary 
Club  and  the  American  Public  Health 
Association.  Shall  use  every  effort  to 
go  to  the  Fair.  Was  a  member  of  the 
Chicago  Alumni  Association.  Am  a 
member  of  the  Princeton  Club.  Have 
seen  a  great  deal  of  all  the  Chicago  '83 
men,  except  Jennison  and  have  broken 
my  back  in  assisting  to  put  through  the 
great  New  Whig  Hall.  Am  also  very 
much  interested  in  the  New  Hotel  at 
Princeton.

Undoubtedly  there  is  no  member  of 
'83  in  regard  to  whom  his  classmates 
are  more  desirous  to  obtain  informa- 
tion thau  "Jack."  Yet  his  letter  in 
proportion  to  its  length  contains  even 
fewer  facts  than  Fred  Rutau's.  It 
shows  that  Jack  has  the  same  spirit 
as  of  yore  when  he  offered  to  bet 
the  Teutonic  member  of  the  faculty  the 
beer  as  to  a  point  in   German   syntax.

a  teacher  and  has  taught  for  several 
years  in  "The  Troy  Polytechnic."  The 
study  of  Greek  at  college  engendered 
in  Jack  such  a  desire  to  emulate  Achil-

tied  when  terrorizing  the  modern  Troj-

March  2,  1893. 
My  Dear  Rudd:  I  have  positively 
nothing  of  the  slightest  interest  to  any 
one  that  needs  insertion  in  the  Decen- 
nial Record.  I  suppose  you  must  have 
somewhere  the  material  you  gathered 
for  the  Sexennial.  To  that  you  might 
add  as  P.  S.  to  the  following  effect: 
"I  am  increased  in  age  by  four  years 
since  the  above  was  written."  It  seems 
that  there  are  "as  to"  the  locks  of  our 
modern  Trojan  assailauf'silver  threads 
among  the  gold" 


The  tale  of  the  same  is  of  no  special 
interest  to  any  but  the  teller.  Let  it 
then  not  appear  further. 

Fraternally  yours, 
J.  G.  Murdoch

Osborn,  William  C. 

In  the  case  of  the  Class  Secretary  vs. 
Osborn,  Billy  prepared  Ins  brief  as  fol- 
lows: 

1.  Have  resided  at  Garrison's,  N.  Y., 
Cambridge,  Mass.  and  New  York.  My 
business  address  is  70  Wall  St.,  N.  Y. 
and  residence  135  E    30th  St. 

2.  My  occupation  lias  been  Law, 
with  side  issues  of  Charitable  Society 
and  Polities.  Cannot  say  that  I  have 
"caught  success,"  if  you  mean  by  tint 
taking  a  position  in  the  world  I  think 
I  have  succeeded  in  obtaining  and  re- 
taining the  respect  of  my  neighbors; 
that  I  have  more  self  control  than  form- 
erly, and  that  I  have  better  powers  for 
my  work  or  play;  so  I  am  partly  satis 
tied.

June  3,  1885.

5.  Democrat  because  I  believe  in 
Home  Rule,  restriction  of  Government 
interference,  reduction  of  expenses  and 
tariff,  government  for  the  mass  as  op- 
posed to  government  for  special  inter- 
ests, and  disbelief  in  the  wisdom  of  the 
purchase  of  silver  under  the  Act  of  1800. 
I  think  the  tariff  should  be  materially 
■.■educed;  begiuniug  with  such  articles 
as  are  most  used  by  tin- farming  classes, 
who  are  now  unjustly  discriminated 
against.  I  think  one  of  the  gravest  dan- 
gers threatening  the  American  people- 
is  indicated  by  the  depreciation  in  farm 
values,  the  diminution  of  farm  popula- 
tion ami  the  growing  demoralization  of 
the  farming  class.  These  facts  appear 
in  New  York  State,  I  know,  and   I  sus- 


pect they  are  found  throughout  the 
country.  I  do  not  believe  in  prohibi- 
tion and  voted  for  Cleveland  and  Stev- 
enson. The  most  specific  dangers  that 
I  see,  are,  increasing  luxury,  the  venal- 
ity of  voters,  and  a  possible  lack  of  na- 
tional homogeneity  arising  from  unre 
stricted  emigration.

as  being  more  suggestive  and  conson- 
ant \\  ith  the  facts.

Billy  inserts  his  hypodermic  syringe 
into  his  ink  bottle  and  injects  the  fol- 
lowing into  the  Decennial  Record. 
Rather  rough  on  the  Record  you  say? 
Well,  yes;  but  we'll  promise  that  the 
dose  shall  not  be  repeated    soon   again. 


My  Dear  Rudd :  Your  circular  letter 
with  the  same  insolent  interrogatories 
as  of  old,  is  before  me,  and  here  goes 
the  reply. 

My  present  address  is  709  N.  17th  St., 
Phila.  (This  is  subject  to  change — I  tind 
it  is  cheaper  to  move). 

My  professional  career  as  the  two 
former  records  will  show  has  been  in 
the  field  of  medicine.  I  am  still  chas- 
ing "success."  Am  still  single.  Not- 
withstanding the  recent  .snow-under  I 
am  still  of  the  Harrison  order  of  Re- 
publicans and  believe  in  Protection  as 
the  correct  principal,  from  a  business 
standpoint  for  Americans.  I  am  a 
Presbyterian.  I  am  a  member  of  the 
medical  organization  in  this  City  and 
in  this  capacity  have  written  s„me  pap- 
ers. My  travels  have  been  few  and  not 
noteworthy. 

I  hope  to  attend  both  '83's  decennial 
reunion  and  the  World's  Fair. 

I  see  something  of  Agnew,  Bryant 
and  Green.  Bryant  has  been  distin- 
guishing himself  by  his  travels  and  his 
lectures.  I  witnessed  and  applauded 
Ned  Royle,  in  his  play  "Friends"  when 
in  this  City,  a  little  while  ago. 

Parmley,  John  hhrick. 

Parmley  turns  a  double  somersault 
in  his  mental  gymnasium  and  landing 
on  his  fee  as  he  always  did,  starts  for 
the  horizontal  bar  and  "dips"  as 
follows: 

I  have  been  farming  here  since  gradu- 
ation, having  been  one  year  in  the 
State  Agricultural  College,  studying 
Agiiculture  and  Chemistry.  I  married 
Miss  Lucy  W.  MacDonald  in  New 
Brunswick,  N.  J.,  April  8,  1885.  I 
throw  in  with  any  political  party  that 
can  do  the  most  good:  I  always  try  to 
put  in  men  and  not  parties.  I  am  a 
Free  Trader.  The  greatest  issue  before 
this  country  is  "Prohibition,  not  only 
■  Prohibition  of  alcoholic  beverages,  but 
also  of  anything  which  is  harmful  to 
man."     If  no  other   party   will   take  up

these  measures,  such  as  are  necessary 
for  the  welfare  of  the  country,  I  be- 
lieve in  a  Third  Party  doing  it, 
whether  Prohibition  or  not.  I 
voted  for  Harrison  and  Reid.  Among 
the  greatest  dangers  which  threaten 
the  American  people  are  the  attempts 
of  the  Roman  Catholics  to  get  power, 
and  the  clashing  of  Capital  and  Labor. 
To  help  remedy  these,  history  and  ex- 
perience should  be  consulted.  Once  a 
man,  not  at  all  religious,  but  very  ob- 
serving and  practical,  said  that  the 
Christian  religion  was  the  best  thing  to 
develop  a  household  into  the  best  and 
most  useful  men  and  women:  it  is  logi- 
cal to  say  the  same  of  its  effect  upon 
the  nation.  Greater  advances  have 
been  made  and  greater  happiness  at- 
tained under  the  Protestant  religion 
than  any  other  While  our  Constitu- 
tion recognizes  no  particular  religion, 
our  Nation  does  recognize  the  Protes- 
tant one.  Do  not  force  the  Bible  upon 
the  people,  the  school  children,  for  ex- 
ample, from  a  sense  of  religious  duty, 
but  because   of  its  worth    for   making 


good  citizens,  for  its  historical  impor- 
tance, for  its  literary  excellence.  I  am 
a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  church. 
I  have  written  many  an  article  for  the 
papers,  among  them  being  the  New 
York  Independant,  the  New  York  Ob- 
server, the  Paris  Visitor,  the  Country 
Gentleman,  the  Jersey  Bulletin.  I  an> 
a  member  of  the  Z.  Y.  Society,  Chair- 
man of  the  Christian  Temperance 
Union  of  this  place,  teacher  and  as- 
sistant Superintendant  in  the  Sunday 
School,  Treasurer  and  Secretary  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  of  the  church,  and 
Elder  in  the  church.  The  only  title  I 
have  is  that  of  A.  M.  In  my  country 
life  I  am  more  likely  to  cover  myself 
with  "dust"  than  with  anything  else, 
especially  in  a  plowed  field.  My  travels 
have  taken  me  more  into  the  country 
than  into  the  more  crowded  places.  I 
have  often  thought  in  this  connect' on 
what  glorious  opportunities  for  muscle, 
head,  heart!  For,  as  we  are  able  to  en- 
joy the  beau.ies  of  nature,  to  make  the 
best  use  of  this  earth, — to  make  "The 
desert  blossom  as  he  rose,"  we  fulfill  a 
quite  important  part  of  our  Creator's 
plan,  since  he  has  said  that  he  "Put 
man  into  the  garden  of  Eden  to  dress 
it  and  to  keep  it."  I  will  attend  '83's 
Decennial  Reunion.  I  will  take  a  De- 
cennial Record  at  whatever  cost.  Why 
not  have  the  Records  oftener?  Billy 
Taylor  and  Finney  are  those  of  the 
Class  of  whom  I  have  seen  the  most:  I 
correspond  with  Frank  Hoskins. 
Whenever  I  see  the  face  of  an  '83  man 
or  hear  from  him  in  any  way,  I  am  al- 
ways rejoiced.  Oh,  classmates,  one 
and  all,  let  us  so  give  ourselves  into 
Christ's  keeping  that  we  may  see  each 
others'  faces,  not  only  in  this  world, 
but  also  in  the  "Better  World!"

Since  receiving  Fred's  letter,  written 
in  Oct.  '93  from  Boston  we  learn  on 
good  authority,  that  he  has  accepted  a 
Professorship  at  Stamford  University 
at  Palo  Alto,  Cal.,  and  we  heartily  con- 
gratulate "Perry"  and  the  class.  We 
always  believed  Fred  was  truly  a  gen- 
ius and  he  added  to  an  even  greater 
quality — hard  work — and  the  interven- 
ing years  has  brought  that  balance, 
toleration  and  knowledge  of  men  — all 
of  which  now  make  him  so  well  equip- 
ped.— Success  to  you  in  all  future  ven- 
tures and  undertakings.  Letters  may 
reach  him  at  Boston,  though  when  this 
reaches  the  Class  he  may  be  in  Califor-

well  he  has  succeeded,  read  his  own 
story,  though  over  modestly  told. 

My  Dear  Kudo:  I  know  you  have 
an  abundance  of  charity  otherwise  I 
would    not   dare   to   write   you,  having 


neglected  your  message  so  long.  My 
intentions  have  been  good,  but  I  have 
been  so  busy  that  I  have  even  lost  the 
intei rogatories  which  you  sent  me;  but 
will  endeavor  to  answer  so  far  as  I  can 
recall  them. 

My  permanent  business  address  is  5 
Beekmau  street,  New  York  City.  The 
main  events  in  my  history  since  1889 
are  as  follows: 

At  tha!.  time  I  was  a  member  of  a  law- 
tirm  and  also  an  instructor  in  Columbia 
College  Law  School.  In  1890  I  was  ap* 
pointed  a  professor  of  private  law  in 
that  school,  appointment  taking  effect 
July  1,  1890,  and  on  that  day  I  with- 
drew from  the  law  firm  with  which  I 
was  connected.  The  next  year  I  re- 
signed my  professorship,  my  resignation 
taking  effect  July  1,  1891.  Upon  the 
organization  of  the  New  York  Law 
School  in  June,  1891,  I  became  one  of 
its  professors  and  still  hold  a  professor- 
ship in  that  school. 

Although  the  New  York  Law  School 
is  not  yet  two  years  old,  it  has  508  stu- 
dents, making  it,  with  thi  exception  of 
the  law  school  of  Michigan  University, 
the  largest  law  school  in  the  country. 

Also  July  1,  1891,  I  again  entered 
the  practice  of  the  law  and  became, 
and  still  continue  a  member  of  the  firm 
of  Lamb.  Osborne  &  Petty,  5  Beekmau 
street,  in  this  city. 

In  politics,  I  am  and  always  have 
been  a  democrat.  I  devote  some  atten- 
tion to  thi!  subject,  looking  upon  it  as  a 
kind  of  past  graduate  course  to  my  col- 
lege education. 

In  religion  I  am  charitably  disposed 
towards  all  denominations,  but  rather 
inclined  toward  the  Presbyterians  be- 
cause they  are  such  great  fighters. 

In  economics  I  believe  in  gradually 
abolishing  protection  and  ultimately 
having  a  tariff  for  revenue- only.  Am 
opposed  to  free  silver. 

I  am  neither  married  nor  engaged, 
but  seem  to  be  destined  to  go  through 
life   alone   and  to  pay  only  a  single  car

fare.  I  do  not  think  1  can  give  any 
satisfactory  reasons  for  this  lamentable 
condition  and  I  leave  it  to  you  as  an 
expert  in  matrimony  to  inform  me.  I 
have  thought  if  I  ever  got  time  in  the 
future,  I  would  take  a  month  off  and 
study  up  the  characteristics  of  the  al- 
leged gentler  sex,  as  my  investigations 
have,  thus  far,  been  confined  to  the 
books  in  preparing  to  lecture  to  the 
students  upon  such  subjects,  as  breach 
of  promise  to  marry,  divorce,  alimony, 
•etc. 

P.  S.  The  following  letter  written 
by  Prof.  Theodore  W.  Dwight  in  the 
spring  of  1891  will  be  read  with  inter- 
est by  every  '83  man,  for  we  all  love  to 
honor  Petty. 
"To  whom  it  may  concern: 
This  letter  is  written  on  behalf  of  my 
friend,  Professor  Robert  D.  Petty,  of 
Columbia  College  Law  School. 

I  am  thoroughly  well  acquainted 
with  Professor  Petty,  as  he  was  under 
my  instruction  as  a  student  in  the  Law 
School,  having  graduated  with  high 
honor,  and  having  become  a  prize 
tutor,  and  later  having  been  my  asso- 
ciate in  instruction.  He  showed  in  the 
Law  School,  and  continues  to  display, 
rare  powers  of  acquisition  of  legal 
principles,  combined  with  great  accu- 
racy. He  is  at  the  same  time  extreme- 
ly faithful  in  the  discharge  of  his  pro- 
fessional duties  and  devoted  ardently 
to  his  chosen  calling.  He  is  in  my 
judgment  a  gentleman  of  rart  promise, 
and  likely  to  combine  as  he  advances 
in  years  a  comprehensive  and  broad 
acquaintance  with  principles  with  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  details.  He  is 
eminently  worthy  of  the  esteem  and  re- 
gard of  any  who  may  need  his  legal 
services  or  who  may  be  favored  with 
his  friendship. 

Theodore  W.  Dwight." 

Phillips,  Furman  S. 

Is  a  lawyer  in  Philalelphia.  He  is 
unmarried,  but  says  nevertheless  "I  still 


have  my  face  turned  toward  the  Rising 
Sun."  We  presume  that  is  the  trade- 
mark used  by  the  father  of  his  adored 
one.  Is  a  Republican  and  takes  an  act- 
ive part  in  politics  having  made  some 
very  effective  campaign  speeches.  "If 
the  Grand  Old  Party  had  not  been  turn- 
ed down  last  Fall,  I  think  my  chances  of 
getting  a  rich  slice  of  the  spoils  would 
not  have  been  altogether  illusory,  how- 
ever, I  am  quite  proud  of  the  record  I 
have  made  for  myself — I  am  feared  if 
not  loved  in  my  little  political  world." 
We  advise  his  opponents  to  get  "Ned" 
Peace  to  assist  them.  Phillips  would 
always  insist  on  singing  in  chapel  and 
"Ned"  who  sat  beside  him  for  the  pro- 
tection of  the  class  shut  off  the  melo- 
dies of  Phillips  livi  et  armis." 

Richmond,  Rev.  Chas.  Alex.  *  f 


REV.  CHAS.  ALEX.  RICHMOND. 

"Richie"  has  been  making  an  honor- 
able reputation  and  name  for  himself 
in  Western  New  York.  Especially  has 
he  built  up  a  strong  church  at  East 
Aurora  near  Buffalo.  He  has  built  a 
fine  new  church  edilice  and  a  parsonage, 


— 57— 


and  shows  signs  of  marked  gi'owth  and 
expansion  in  his  profession.  Univer- 
sally beloved  by  his  people  and  all  who 
know  him,  he  thus  brings  honor  to  the 
Class,  and  we  are  sure  all  will  be  glad 
to  hear  him  tell  of  his  experiences  since 
we  last  saw  him. 

1.  My  present  address  is  East  Aur- 
ora, New  York.  I  have  lived  here  ever 
since  I  graduated  from  the  Seminary  in 
1888.  I  am  still  a  Presbyterian  minis- 
ter and  still  the  Bishop  of  East  Aurora. 
As  to  success  my  work  here  has  gone  on 
fairly  well  and  I  am  contented.  What 
more  can  a  fellow  ask. 

I  was  married  on  June  4,  1891  to  Miss 
Sarah  Cooper  Locke  at  Buffalo,  N.  Y. 
Rudd  was  there,  Reynolds  and  Hodge 
'86  and  Yeomans  '88  were  among  the 
ushers  and  the  Princeton  cheer  was 
conspicuous. 

I  am  a  Republican  by  birth,  educa- 
tion and  personal  choice.  I  believe  in 
"Protection"  and  "Bill"  McKinley, 
restricted  Silver,  restricted  Immigra- 
tion, Civil  Service  Reform  and  High 
License.  I  voted  for  Harrison  and 
Reid  in  1892. 

There  are  dangers  too  numerous  to 
to  mention  threatening  the  American 
people.  The  remedy  for  most  of  them 
is  Education  upon  the  sound  and  pro- 
gressive principles  taught  and  applied 
in  Old  Nassau. 

I  am  a  member  of  the  Monday  Club 
and  of  the  Liberal  Club  of  Buffalo. 

No  glory — not  much  dust.  Have 
written  a  few  magazine  articles  and 
lectured  at  Chautauqua  on  "Church 
Music." 

In  the  spring  and  summer  of  1892  I 
travelled  through  Germany,  Switzer- 
land and  Italy  as  far  south  as  Cairo, 
taking  in  Venice,  Florence,  Rome,  etc., 
then  up  the  River  through  France  to 
England.  Saw  Rudd's  old  stamping 
ground  in  Edinburgh. 

I  will  attend  the  World's  Fair  D.  V. 
and  the  Class  reunion  whether  or  no. 

There  is   no   Princeton  Alumni  Asso- 


ciation here  but  1  hope  we  shall  have 
one  before  long.  I  have  been  instru- 
mental in  sending  several  young  men 
to  Princeton. 

Ed  Royle  spent  a  day  with  me  and 
gave  me  some  racy  items  from  his  ex- 
perience on  and  off  the  stage.  Have 
seen  more  or  less  of  our  honored  Secre- 
tary and  may  his  shadow  never  grow 
less.  I  am  ashamed  of  my  own  delay  in 
sending  my  answers  for  the  record,  but 
Rudd's  good  nature  is  proverbial  and 
he  will  forgive  all  us  miserable  offend- 
ers. 

Prescott,  Latimer  H. 

We  were  greatly  amused  to  get  Pres- 
cott's  letter  of  replies  Nov.  30th,  the 
very  last  day  named  for  receiving  let- 
ters. But  the  promised  photo,  was  nev- 
er received.  This  in  the  light- of  the 
constant  and  ad-nauseam  lectures  and 
prods  to  duty,  proved  indeed  "how 
easy  to  preach,  how  rare  to  be  consist- 
ent." Prescott  after  passing  through 
many  business  trials  seems  to  "bob  up 
serenely"  and  is  now  we  trust  doing 
well.     His  own  tale  he  twists  thus: 

1.  L.  H.  Prescott,  30  Vincent  St., 
Cleveland,  Ohio.  Have  lived  in  New 
York  City,  Salt  Lake  City,  Cleveland. 

2.  I  have  followed  printing  as  a  busi- 
ness and  as  a  profession — for  several 
years  on  the  "Cleveland  Plain  Dealer'1 
in  various  capacities.  I  am  now  in  the 
job  printing  line,  under  my  own  name, 
at  the  above  address.  Success  hangs 
swinging  in  the  balance.  I've  had  a 
"tough"  pull  and  have  worn  off  the  en- 
amel of  my  front  teeth  hanging  on 
when  I  had  nothing  else  to  hold  with. 
I  think  now  I  have  both  hands  gripped 
on  the  oft  times  Elysian  delusion  "suc- 
cess." 

3.  I  am  not  married,  nor  am  I,  as  a 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  young  man  once  told  me, 
"Looking  for  $200,000  and  a  bad 
cough."  On  the  affinity  theory  we  have 
never  met.  Of  course  there  is 
plenty  of  inducement  not  to  wait  for  in 


-58- 


case  of  a  misfit,  Jim  Harlan  is  inChicago 
where  they  untie  in  a  few  minutes.  Day 
is  here  too  occasionally  and  intimates 
something  ought  to  happen.  Even  Voll- 
rath  had  the  kindness  to  invite  me  down 
to  Bercy,  N.  Y.  while  he  took  the  part  of 
the  "horrible  example"  for  my  instruc- 
tion and  encouragement.  But  still  I 
wed  not  and  I'll  have  to  confess  there  is 
little  hope  as  yet.  One  thing  I  am  not 
worrying  about  the  design  and  inscrip- 
tion on  the  class  cup. 

4.  For  a  satisfactory  answer  please 
call  on  the  next  generation  or  two 
when  "our  times"  has  merged  into  the 
mystic  realm  of  ancient  history. 

5.  To-day  I  am  a  Democrat  on  most 
public  questions  and  voted  for  Cleve- 
land nationally  and  a  "Free  Trade" 
locally.  This  is  an  age  of  commerce 
and  of  trade  and  the  nation  making  the 
most  money  (in  terms  of  prosperity)  is 
the  nation  doing  the  most  business, 
which  means  an  exchange  of  products. 
The  nearer  this  exchanging  is  left  to  the 
absolute  free  will  of  the  men,  individ- 
uals, citizens,  human  beings  of  this 
earth  the  less  the  friction,  the  more 
trade,  the  less  conditional  elements, 
the  more  certain  trade  follows  natural 
and  healthy  channels,  while,  higher  by 
far  is  the  moral  standard  of  the  trading 
nations.  To-day  every  importer  is 
practically  regarded  as  a  thief  unless 
proven  otherwise.  A  government  has 
the  power  may  be  to  raise  revenue  for 
other  than  legitimate  expeuses,  but  not 
the  right;  or  else  such  government  is 
not  a  democracy.  Our  government 
cannot  be  a  nursery,  for  as  Mr.  Cleve- 
land crystalized  it,  the  people  still 
support  the  government  but  the  govern- 
ment cannot  support  the  people. 

Prohibition  I  consider  an  impossible 
possibilty.  Human  beings  can  and 
could  get  along  without  liquor,  but 
they  wont. 

My  religious  affiliations  are  pretty 
liberal,  of  a  Congregational  tint,  and 
with  heart   sympathy    for    the    Briggs 


"movement."  Hold  and  alwaj's  have 
that  no  man  could  pass  through  Prince- 
ton College  and  accept  the  so-called 
"Orthodoxy."  He  was  either,  if  he  did, 
too  cowardly  to  accept  the  results  his 
records  brought  forth  or  else  he  lied — 
by  "mental  reservation  " 

6.  Belong  to  K.  of  P.  and  U.  R.  of 
that  body,  holding  office  of  Recorder. 
Am  president  of  Cleveland  Guitar  Club. 

This  covers  the  list.  Mostly  ashes 
has  been  my  covering  so  far. 

7.  I  can  tell  nothing  about  the 
Worlds  Fair  or  the  Reunion  at  this 
writing.  I  frequently  go  right  out  as 
far  as  the  sidewalk  with  the  last  cent  I 
paid  out,  just  to  be  with  it  as  long  as 
possible;  in  church,  I  sit  -near  the  rear 
door  and  study  to  take  no  prominent 
place  or  position.  The  gentlemanly 
'We'll  do  the  rest"  nevermiss  me  when 
I'm  gone.  Several  churches  here  are 
in  debt,  but  I  can't  help  it.  I'm  with 
'em. 

8.  A  "sort  of"  club,  which  has  not 
met  for  years,  can't  say  whether  it  is 
high  tone,  low  tone  or  locality  which 
prevents  an  occasional  love  feast.  I'm 
perfectly  willing  to  help  organize  clubs 
anywhere  I  can  write  diffusely  on  the 
"moribund  condition  of  a  Brilliant 
Start,"  or  "Looking  Forward,  an  Elim- 
ination of  Present  Deity"— Put  me 
down  anyway,  "half-tone."  What  a 
rogue's  gallery  we'll  have  and  how 
every  line  of  life's  activity  will  be  rep- 
resented and  typified  from  Bucolic  to 
to  Beatific! 

10.  Day  is  the  only  classmate  I  see 
anything  of  except  the  stray  sheep — 
like  Roberts — Day  is  A  No.  1  from  the 
ground  up  and  though  like  me  often- 
times rather  discontented  may  be  at 
our  lot  and  fate,  for  we  are  both  Geo. 
Washington's  with  alumni  men  hate 
bets,  still  we  manage  to  fill  our  alloted 
field  and  occasionally  recall  scenes 
pictured  on  memory's  walls  when  hal- 
cyon days  gave  no  time  for  trouble, 
and  the  future  offered  a  limitless  sea 
for  steering  our  bark,  "success."

The  secretary  after  consulting  coun- 
sel has  been  advised  that  there  is  suffi- 
cient evidence  to  warrant  the  conclusion 
that  a  certain  unsigned  communication 
received  by  him  was  written  by  the  a- 
bove,  and  that  answers  to  the  interrog- 
atories do  not  come  within  the  Statute 
of  Frauds.

mittee for  Decennial  Record: 

My  present  permanent  address  re- 
mains the  same,  viz. : 

Henry  Rieman  &  Sons, 
Baltimore,  Md. 

2.  I  have  resided  in  Baltimore,  Day 
ton,  Ohio,  Pittsburg,  Pa.,  Cambridge, 
Mass.,  N.  Y   City  and  St.  Paul. 

3.  I  have  studied  law  for  some  years. 
Have  been  in  the  electrical  business.  I 
have  been  fairly  successful  in  what  I 
have  attempted  to  accomplish.

LAWRASON  RIGGS. 

"Lan-y"  is  a  rising  member  of  the 
Baltimore  bar.  He  gives  the  following 
account  of  himself: 


—60— 


"I  have  postponed  time  and  again 
till  a  more  convenient  season,"  sending 
my  answers  to  your  interrogations — " 
hoping  that  something  out  of  the  ordin- 
ary might  happen  to  make  my  responses 
more  than  categorical.  But  luck  is 
against  me,  just  as  it  was  when  Mat 
Goldie  pumped  George  Flemming  and 
found  out  that  I  was  a  party  to  the 
burning  of  Ord  Hall.  No  stray  light- 
ning will  come  my  way  though  1  patient- 
ly keep  my  little  rod  aloft;  so  you  must 
pay  the  penalty  of  prying  into  an  un- 
eventful life,  by  reading  this  dry  com- 
munication. 

Since  graduation,  I  have  resided  con- 
tinuously in  Baltimore — permanent  ad- 
dress, 814  Cathedral  Street.  I  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  practice  of  law  in  '86  and 
have  jogged  along  in  the  profession 
ever  since. 

I  am  unmarried  and  unable  to  give 
any  decent  explanation  for  being  so. 
Am  a  Democrat  aud  believe  in  a  tariff 
on  imports  sufficient  only  to  raise  rev- 
enues to  carry  on  the  government  eco- 
nomically administered.  Am  opposed 
to  free  silver  and  believe  in  the  repeal 
of  the  so  called  Sherman  Act.  To  my 
mind  the  Silver  question  is  the  most 
vital  question  before  the  country.  I  be- 
lieve in  the  restriction  of  immigration, 
though  recognizing  the  great  difficulty 
in  framing  and  administering  a  proper 
law. 

I  am  opposed  to  Prohibition  ("after 
the  class  dinner  in  1889,  a  great  speech 
on  this  subject  was  made  by  "Larry"  in 
front  of  "Old  North"  at  1  o'clock  in 
the  morning,")  and  consider  the  Third 
Party  movement  fatal  to  the  cause  of 
Temperance  Reform.  High  license 
seems  to  me  to  be  the  only  right  and 
efficient  remedy. 

1  have  done  no  literary  work  nor  are 
my  shoulders  bent  with  the  weight  of 
honors  heaped  upon  me  by  fellow  citi- 
zens. 

I  certainly  expect  to  be  at  the  Dec- 
ennial.    I  would  gladly  give  live  dollars 


for  the  Record,  should  you  decide  to 
publish  each  man's  picture.  I  do  not 
happen  to  have  a  recent  photograph  of 
myself  at  hand,  but  will  send  you  one  in 
a  day  or  two. 

I  have  seen  but  few  '83  men  in  the 
last  year  or  two,  Este  Fisher  excepted. 
We  have  offices  in  the  same  building 
and  meet  almost  daily.  I  owe  D.  K.  E. 
a  debt  of  gratitude  which  I  must  ac- 
knowledge here.  He  keeps  me  young; 
when  I  feel  age  creeping  on  me  I  hunt 
Este  up,  and  presto!  I  am  a  colt  again — 
for  Este  is  certainly  growing  old,  two 
years  to  my  one.  You  will  have  a 
chance  to  judge  his  age  in  June.  Jerry 
Haxall  is  here  too — married  and  the 
head  of  a  family.  Dr.  Hunter  St.  John 
was  here  part  of  the  winter  with  his 
family.  He  was  doing  Hospital  work,  I 
think,  and  I  saw  but  little  of  him.  Joe 
Brattan  I  frequently  meet,  but  there  is 
no  use  telling  you  anything  of  Joe,  for 
he  has  had  a  newspaper  training  and 
will  do  his  own  "wrrite  up.!" 

Roberts,  Frank  C. 

The  same  conscientious  hard  work 
which  placed  Frank  at  the  head  of  his 
class  in  College,  has  given  him  success 
and  honor  in  his  profession  in  Philadel 
phia,  aud  has  also  been  the  quality 
which  he  has  so  generously  and  un- 
tiringly devoted  to  the  interests  of  '83, 
especially  as  Treasurer  of  the  Memorial 
Fund.  It  seems  but  natural  that  the 
class  should  do  everything  they  ca  to 
facilitate  the  work  of  those  who  so 
gladly  contribute  of  their  time  and 
sti-eugth  and  money  to  the  class  honor. 
Frank  will  speak  for  himself  of  his  life 
in  general.

SINCLAIR  K.  ROYLE. 

Our  "handsome  Clair"  like  so  many 
others  of  the  class  who  have  been  iso- 
lated, shows  his  old  time  affection  and 
enthusiasm  for  College  Classmates  and 
interests  and  looks  forward  to  the  time 
when  he  shall  put  another  log  on  the 
camp  tire  and  lighting  his  pipe  he  wTill 
read  the  story  of  what  each  man  has 
been  doing.  We  are  told  that  ranch 
life  agrees  with  him,  and  that  our 
"heavy-weight  Ned  Peace"  must  take 
his  place  among  the  light-weights  when 
Clair  is  around. 

He  caralls  his  thoughts  somewhat  as 
follows: 

I  have  received  several  communi- 
cations from  you  in  regard  to  the  De- 
cennial Record  of  '83  and  I  have  in- 
tended  writing    you   something    from 


—62— 


time  to  time,  but  have  put  it  off  hoping 
that  I  might  scare  up  something  of 
interest  to  wri  e  about,  but  my  life 
here  lias  gone  on  at  the  same  old  gait, 
so  I  will  simply  answer  your  questions 
and  let  her  go  at  that. 

1  Jensen,  Uintah  Co.  Utah.  Lived 
in  Salt  Lake  City  two  years  and  at 
Rancho  Chosa  eight  years. 

2.  Cattle  business  and  pretty  near 
busted.

5.  Democrat. 

7  Last  fall  1892,  I  went  hark  East 
for  my  wife  who  had  spent  al!  summer 
there.  I  met  quite  a  number  of  '83 
men  whom  I  enjoyed  meeting  agaiu 
very  much  and  I  think  they  were  glad 
to  see  me,  I  saw  my  brother  Ed.  married 
also  went  to  Philadelphia  to  see  him  and 
his  play  "Friends"  and  while  there  had 
a  visit  with  Frank  Roberts,  and  Tape 
Bryant  was  kind  enough  to  call  on  me. 
Met  Billy  Scott  on  the  street,  Pard 
Harsha  met  me  by  agreement  in  Phila- 
delphia and  we  went  to  see  "Friends" 
together.  He  and  Ed.  and  I  had  a 
reunion  after  play.  Saw  A.  C.  Ward 
in  Newark  a  number  of  times,  also 
Billy  Field,  called  on  Crouse  and  Keller 
and  was  glad  to  find  them  both  pros- 
perous. Also  met  Bob  Yard  one  night 
in  New  York.  1  was  present  at  my 
brother  Ed's,  marriage,  to  Miss  Selena 
Fetter,  after  which  with  my  wife  I  re- 
turned here.  I  will  not  be  able  to  at- 
tend reunion  but  may  get  to  World's 
Fair.  Please  send  me  one  Record.  I 
send  you  a  picture  I  had  taken  in  1888 
— too  late  for  insertion  Clair — and 
would  be  much  obliged  if  you  would 
return  it,  as  it  is  the  only  oue  my  wife 
has  and  she  wants  it  returned  if  pos- 
sible. 

Royle,  Edwin  Milton. 

Your  Secretary  finds  it  very   ditlicnlt 


EDWIN  MILTON  ROYLE. 

to  kuow  what  to  cut  and  what  to  re- 
tain in  Ned's  most  interesting,  but 
lengthy  letter.  As  the  only  actor  in 
our  class,  Ned  is  maintaining  the  re- 
markable and  illustrous  position  which 
he  has  already  made  for  himself  as 
actor  and  playwrighter. 

We  remember  him  in  college  days  in 
"David  Garrick."  The  next  year  in 
Edinburgh  he  acted  in  a  play  at  the 
300th  Anniversai'y  of  the  University. 
After  pla.ying  with  "Booth  and  Bar- 
rett" and  having  the  usual  checquered 
career,  he  settled  down  to  produce  his 
own  play.  We  shall  quote  from  one  of 
the  many  papers  a  few  lines  regarding 
it,  and  then  we  let  Ed.  speak  for  him- 
self.    A  Denver  paper  says: 

"In  these  days  of  hopelessly  vulgar 
and  demoralizing  farce  comedies  that 
are  mere  sickly  imitations  of  the  work 
of  the  gifted  Hoyt  a  pure,  old-fashioned 
and  clever  comedy-drama  is  absolutely 
refreshing.  Denver  is  now  being  treat- 
ed to  just  such  a  play  in  "Friends,"  at 
the  New  Broadway  theater. 


-03— 


Without  being  prudish  or  in  the  least 
goody-goody  "Friends"  has  a  moral 
purpose  and  a  wholesome  human  one 
at  that.  It  appeals  to  the  better  part 
of  every  man's  nature  without  expect- 
ing him  to  be  a  Miss  N;incy  or  a  tire- 
some moralizer.  It  illustrates  in 
vigorous  and  manly  action  that  life 
would  scarcely  be  worth  the  living  if 
robbed  of  all,  or  nearly  all,  the  senti: 
ment  in  it." 

Royle  thus  w  riles: 

My  dear  Ed.  I  seize  the  first  mo- 
ment I  have  had  since  "the  close  of  my 
season"  to  answer  your  iuterregations 
There  was  never  much  to  say  of  my- 
self, and  as  I  grow  older  there  seems 
less  and  less.  I  have  passed  the  period 
of  youthful  ambition,  and  hopes  and 
illusions  and  have  realv  only  one  claim 
to  distinction.  1  have  in  some  quarters 
earned  the  reputation  of  being  a  hard 
worker  I  belieyi  I  need  not  say  that 
this  is  quite  a  new  distinction,  and  one 
(  f  which  I  feel  humbly  proud.  I  am 
even  tempted  to  believe  that  I  deserve 
it.  Most  of  the  class  possibly  know 
that  my  public  offenses  have  been  lim- 
ited and  scarcely  worth  the  recording — 
with  one  exception  A  number  of  them 
(class)  have  suffered  at  some  one  or 
another  of  the  performances  of  a  play 
entitled  "Friends,"  for  this  1  desire  to 
plead  guilty  and  recommend  myself  to 
the  mercy  of  the  Court,  and  to  that  di- 
vine charity  which  covers  a  multitude 
of  sins. 

As  it  is  permitted  us  to  assume  that 
each  and  all  are  as  interested  in  our 
experiences  as  we  are  in  theirs,  a  brief 
history  of  "Friends"  may  not  be  out  of 
place  here: 

It  was  produced  originally  Aug.  7, 
1891  at  my  home,  in  Salt  Lake  City,  by 
the  Home  Dramatic  Club  (an  excellent 
amateur  organization)  Mr.  Lucius  Hen- 
derson, assisted  me  and  the  two  perfor- 
mances in  Salt  Lake  City  argued  en- 
couragingly for  its  future.  The  follow- 
ing spring— May  9,   18»2   it    received    a 


New  York  production  at  the  Standard 
theatre.  The  opening  night  was  neither 
a  success,  nor  a  failure:  though  to  my 
thinking,  it  was  nearer  the  latter  than 
the  former.  The  performance  the  s<  c- 
o-id  niijht  was  a  very  different  thing.  It 
convinced  me  that  whatever  might  be 
the  merits  or  demerits  of  my  play,  it 
would  enjoy  some  lease  of  life.  The  N. 
Y.  run  entered  the  extreme  hot  weather 
of  the  summer  ami  then  we  rested  un- 
til Sept.  We  have  just  closed  a  season 
of  between  30  and  40  weeks.  Wc  are 
already  booked  for  an  extended  tour 
next  season.  It  has  taken  me  longer  to 
say  this  than  was  necessaiy. 

I  have  something  more  interesting  to 
relate — I  have  joined  the  respectable 
portion  of  the  class.  It  is  not  neces- 
sary for  me  to  add  that  I  am  married. 
I  neve'-  thought  I  could  do  it,  but  the 
lady  was  sorry  for  me— and  there  you 
are!  It  was  one  of  these — "15  minutes 
for  the  ceremony,  married  while  you 
wait:"  sort  of  weddings.  I  have  dis- 
covered that  it  did  the  business  just  the 
same.  1  was  married  to  Miss  Selena 
Fetter,  of  Louisville,  Ky.  a  most  ac- 
complished and  estimable  young  lady, 
October  16,  1892,  at  Christ  Church, 
New  Yoik  City  by  the  Rev.  Dr.Shipman. 
Many  '83  men  were  present.  I  am  sure 
I  have  the  date  right  for  I  copied  this 
from  ni3'  scrap  book.  To  tell  you  the 
truth,  I  hadn't  had  any  rehearsal,  aud 
when  the  minister  took  the  center  of 
the  stage  (to  which  I  am  somewhat 
partial  myself),  and  all  the  stained 
glass  window  light,  and  did  most  of  the 
dialogue,  I  simply  coining  in  now  and 
then  for  a  "feeder",  (as  we  say)  I  got 
very  nervous  and  came  very  near  los- 
ing my  voice, — about  the  only  thing 
1  havn't  lost  since  I  became  a  manager, 
I  had  genuine  stage  fright.  I  tell  you 
a  J.  O.  or  a  Lynde  Debate  or  a  "first 
night"  is  nothing  to  it.  However,  Rev. 
Dr.  Shipman  was  a  pretty  fair  prompter 
ami  I  pulled  through.  The  only  thing 
I   forgot,    I    believe,     was    to     pay   the 


—64— 


minister,  but  as  he  couldn't  take  the 
ceremony  back,  and  as  Rudd  had  led 
me  to  believe  that  the  Clergy  hate  to 
be  paid  for  their  holy  offices,  I  didn't 
let  it  worry  me.  After  a  wedding  din- 
ner at  Delmonicos  (where  I  take  my 
meals  regularly  now)  we  took  our 
wedding  journey. 

Let  me  now  answer  your  interroga- 
tions. 

1.  Care  of  Win.  R.  Wilder,  45  Cedar 
St.  New  York  City. 

2.  Actor — always  been  regarded  as 
a  "good  man  gone  wrong." 

3.  Am  I?     See  above! 

4.  Has  hopes. 

5.  No  politics.  Nothing  but  debts. 
No  views  except  as  to  silver:  view  of 
that  very  limited.  Dangers'/  that  the 
public  taste  will  be  corrupted  by  cheap 
and  meretricious  plays.  Remedy? 
Liberal  public  prtronage  of  "Friends," 
and  future  productions  by  author  of 
same.  Religious  affiliations'?  Actors 
and  Mormons. 

6.  Filled  no  office — not  even  the  box 
office. 

7.  As  I  travel  over  14000  miles  a  sea- 
son, will  spare  you!  Hope  to  emerge 
from  rest  and  seclusion  of  summer  with 
Anatomy  of  new  play:  so  go  to  Salt 
Lake  at  once  to  work.  More  than 
sorry  can't  reune  with  you  all. 

10.  "So  modest,"  I  know  you  are 
personal,  so  modestly  close. 

Rudd,  Rev.  Edward  Huntting.* 

We  were  told  on  "Class  Day"  that  in 
the  case  of  Shelby  the  "Non  Fgo"  was 
inconceivable.  Our  Class  Secretary 
desires  to  make  the  "Ego"  impossible 
and  by  some  conjuring  Jeckyl-Hyde 
combination  to  let  his  impersonal  self 
do  the  communicating  through  the 
medium  of  Finney  or  Petty. 

Rudd  is  so  elated  over  the  advent  of 
a  fine  vigorous  boy,  who  was  born  Feb. 
7,  1893.  Albion,  N.  Y.  that  his  smile  will 
reach  from  the  Junction  lo  the  Campus.

REV.  EDWARD  HUNTTING  RUDD. 

tral  blood  and  spirit  of  Williams  and 
Yale  and  Princeton  and  in  his  name  as 
well,  he  combines  these  solid  old  insti- 
tutions, not  to  mention  marked  paternal 
and  grand-paternal  qualities.  Young 
Henry  Williams  Dwight  Rudd  therefore 
presents  himself  as  a  candidate  for 
"half-back"  of  the  varsity  and  "Secre- 
ary  of  the  class  of  1915." 

Of  course  anything  else  that  Rudd 
may  write  is  of  secondary  importance. 
However  he  rehearses  some  of  the 
events  of  these  ten  years.  We  glean 
that  after  leaving  the  shades  of  old 
Princeton  he  traveled  in  Europe  for 
four  months  "doing,'  Switzerland  on 
foot  in  company  with  Hoskius,  Royle, 
and  Billy  Scott  This  "tramping  tour" 
has  already  passed  into  history  as 
famous.  Spending  that  year  as  a  stud- 
ent in  the  University  of  Edinburgh  and 
NeAv  College,  he  returned  and  after 
three  years  in  Princeton  Seminary, 
graduated  in  1887.  Called  to  the  6th 
Presbyterian  Church  of  Albany,  N.   Y. , 


/h-J*^*^£*/eJ &,"/&* ,+f  il^r,,  *&,&  /*/?* 


cJLa^U.  OvLzr:  Jr*7-

he  spent  nearly  four  years  there,  when 
he  accepted  a  call  from  the  1st  Presby- 
terian church  of  Albion,  N.  Y.,  a  beau- 
tiful town  on  the  Niagara  Falls  Division 
of  the  N.  Y.  Central  R.  R.,  where  he 
now  l'esides. 

On  Sept.  20,  1887,  he  married  Miss 
Mary  Winslovv  Dwight  of  Pittstield, 
Mass. 

While  in  Albany  Rudd  organized  a 
Princeton  Club,  and  is  now  trying  to 
form  one  to  comprize  western  N.  Y., 
centering  at  Rochester  and  Buffalo. 
He  believes  with  many  others  that  it 
is  this  kind  of  work  which  is  adding  to 
the  numerical  and  permanent  strength 
of  Princeton. 

Rudd  says  he  is  a  staunch  Republi- 
can because  he  believes  it  to  be  the 
Party  of  Progress,  Power,  Prosperity, 
Popularity,  Push,  Peace,  Political  Pre- 
science and  Painstaking  Penetration, 
although  at  intervals  and  iu  certain 
sections  the  G.  O.  P.  may  need  to  be 
politically  and  persistently  purged  and 
purified,  still  in  the  main  it  is  the  dom- 
inant force  in  all  the  best  civic  and  na- 
tional progress  thus  far  attained.  He 
does  not  believe  in  Prohibition  as  a 
Third  Party  Movement,  but  would  first 
restrict,  then  prohibit  the  sale  of 
liquor.  It  is  this  universal  "compro- 
mise" with  sin  and  evil,  which  makes  it 
insolent,  imperious,  defiant,  conscious 
of  its  power,  and  is  hoodwinking  the 
American  people.  We  need  more 
men  who  will  "stand  four  squai'e  to 
every  wind  that  blows."  He  believes 
the  liquor  forces,  which  are  anti-home, 
anti-honesty,  anti-purity,  anti-strong- 
manhood  should  be  met  by  a  great  and 
mighty  fearless  public  sentiment  which 
shall  express  itself  in  votes,  which 
shall  be  non-partisan,  but  once  and 
forever  anti-liquor.  Prohibitionists 
and  many  temperance  people  have 
been  thoroughly  intemperate  iu  lan- 
guage, in  methods,  in  wordy  resolu- 
tions, in  narrow  bigotry,— while  a  larg- 
er class  have  been  "over  temperate"  in 


the  use  of  their  zeal,  enthusiasm,  good 
sense,  courage  and  money,  so  that 
while  they  have  been  musing  the  ene- 
my's fires  have  been  burning.  This 
one  evil  "drink"  is  the  storm  centre  of 
a  score  of  other  evils  which  threaten 
us  The  national  and  individual  con- 
science needs  to  be  quickened  by  re- 
generation." He  believes  the  spirit  and 
principle  involved  in  the  Geary  act  to 
be  right,  however  unfortunate  or 
wrong  the  act  itself  miy  prove.  "We 
must  restrict.  We  have  reached  the 
point  where  'self-preservation'  is  abso- 
lutely necessary.  Free  silver  is  as  Un- 
american  as  it  is  unsafe. 

As  to  personal  honors,  glory,  etc., 
Rudd  is  not  sure  that  in  its  final  analy- 
sis there  is  very  much  of  that  commod- 
ity iu  the  sense  the  world  at  large 
views  it.  "The  absolute,  unselfish,  sin- 
cere, Chiist-like  performance  of  life's 
duties  will  alone  bring  genuine  honor." 
He  has  had  pleasant  recognitions  giv- 
ing him  places  of  trust.  As  Moderator 
of  tin  Presbytery  of  Albany,  as  Stated 
Clerk  and  Treasurer  of  Niagara  Pres- 
bytery, as  one  the  Commissioners  or 
Board  of  Directors  of  Auburn  Theolog- 
ical Semiuary,  and  last  but  not  least 
Pastor  over  one  of  the  most  delightful 
churches  iu  western  New  York.  He 
believes  no  minister  in  '83  has  a  more 
kind,  loyal  and  noble-hearted  people 
than  he.  They  are  just  completing  a 
parsonage  for  him   costing   nearly   $15- 

000  which  will  make  a  most  complete 
and  harmonious  church  property. 
'Pull  ye  latch  string  ye  '83  men  en 
route  to  the  Falls  and  Chicago."  He 
has  traveled  iu  most  of  the  States  of 
the  Union  and  expects  to  attend  the 
World's  Fair  and  be  at  the  Reunion. 

Rue,  Frank  B.*t 

Peter  says  under  date  of  April  15, 
1890:  "Your  kind  remiuder  is  received. 
It's  hardly  necessary  for  me  to  say  that 

1  have  neglected  to  answer  similar  ones, 
you  are   aware  of   the  fact.     I  will   not 


-06— 


explain,  but  simply  ask  your  pardon, 
feeling  sure  from  the  kindness  of  your 
note  that  it  will  be  granted.  I  have 
very  little  to  tell  about  myself.  Have 
tried  about  about  three  years  of  loaf- 
ing in  that  time,  doing  a  very  little  at 
farming,  a  little  more  at  the  law,  but 
nothing  suited.  For  the  past  two  and  a 
half  years,  however,  I  have  clerked  it 
pretty  steadily,  and  am  now  keeping 
books  in  the  bank,  the  name  of  which 
[Atlantic  Highlands  ^National  Bank]  is 
at  the  head  of  this  letter.  This  has  last- 
ed with  me  for  over  half  a  year  and  1  be- 
gin to  feel  quite  settled.  Am  rather  a- 
fraid,  though,  that  I  shall  always  be  a 
rover.  The  married  state  aud  I  are 
still  far  apart.  The  ladies  are  very  nice 
and  I  admire  them  greatly,  but  what 
keeps  one  don't  often  keep  two,  or  pos- 
sibly more.  That  is  all,  Ed.,  except 
that  I  thank  you  for  your  kindness  in 
continuing  to  remind  me,  instead  of  be- 
et ming    disgusted  and  giving  me  up.'' 

Russell,  James  C. 

Jim  jabs  an  old  meat  skewer  in  a 
quar_  of  ink  aud  trails  it  along  as  near 
as  we  could  make  out  about  as   follows: 

1.  My  present  address  isHorseheads, 
N.  Y.  I  accepted  a  call  to  the  Presby- 
terian church  of  this  village  seven  years 
ago. 

2.  And  while  I  have  made  no  great 
stir,  I  have  succeeded  in  my  work  here 
to  a  reasonable  extent,  and  our  church 
has  doubled  its  members  and  the  build- 
ing has  been  enlarged  aud  greatly  im- 
proved. 

3.  I  am  married.  I  found  my  help 
meet  in  my  own  congregation  live  years 
ago — Miss  M.  Eda  Sears. 

4.  We  have  two  children,  a  boy  and 
a  girl.  Henry  Sears  Russell,  aged  three 
years  and  Marjorie  Russell  aged  one 
and  a  half  years.  Aud  as  both  their 
parents  are  good  looking  and  as  they 
resemble  both,  you  can  be  assured  they 
are  models  of  beauty. 


JAMES  C.  RUSSELL. 

5.  I  do  not  "belong"  to  any  political 
party.  I  voted  last  time  with  the  pro- 
hibitionists because  I  believe  the  is 
sues  they  represent  are  the  greatest  be- 
fore the  country.  1  consider  the  liquor 
traffic  the  most  damnable  curse  in  our 
country,  and  the  greatest  obstacle  to 
the  progress  of  the  kingdom  of  God. 
Her  :'s  my  hand  with  all  the  sympathy 
and  strength  I  can  crowd  into  it  for 
auy  party  or  organization  that  stands 
up  for  the  home,  the  church  and  the 
state  against  the  saloon,  the  dram  shop 
and  the  distillery. 

I  believe  in  a  limited  tariff.  I  think 
immigration  for  the  uext  teu  years 
should  be  greatly  if  not  entirely  sus- 
pended. This  country  is  sick  with  in- 
digestion. 

6.  I  have  written  quite  a  large  num- 
ber of  pamphlets  (sermonic)  and  pos- 
sess quite  a  library  of  unpublished  ser- 
mons. They  can  be  purchased  at  reas- 
onable rates.  Apply  at  my  study.  [We

7.  I  traveled  across  the  continent 
last  spring.  I  stayed  a  day  and  night 
with  "Pard"  at  Minneapolis.  [  didn't 
find  him  improved  any  either  in  appear 
ance  or  conduct.  He  has  quit  smoking 
cigars  and  taken  to  driving  fast    horses. 

We  drove  around  the  city  "with 
every  hoof  off  the  ground  and  tail  over 
the  dashboard  "  After  I  left  Minnea- 
polis I  met  "Jai  Fiuuie,"  who  exhibited 
the  same  freshness  as  in  other  days.  I 
spent  about  a  week  in  Portland.  Then 
went  down  into  California  for  a  week. 
Ou  my  way  home  [  stopped  a  few  days 
at  Salt  Lake  City  and  Denver.

WM.  E.  RUSSELL. 

"Lord  John"  cannot  be  found.  He 
has  probably  "chewed  up  the  tag,"  by 
which  he  might  be  identified.  He  is 
fully  written  up  in  the  last  Record  how- 
ever and  that  must  suffice.  He  was  at 
Birmingham,  Ala.  at  last  accounts. 
Will  some  one  send  his  address. 


FREDERICK  N.  RUTAN. 

'Fred"  sends  three  closely  written 
pages  in  answer  to  the  interrogatories 
and  a  better  illustration  of  evasive  an- 
swering it  would  be  difficult  to  find  in 
the  archives  of  Chancery.  Aftercareful 
consideration  the  only  definite  informa- 
tion we  are  aide  to  extract  is:  That  he 
has  changed  in  the  last  ten  years,  to 
wit,  has  lost  his  politics  and  most  of 
his  religion,  is  "chief  among  sinners,"  a 
man  married,"  "a  sturdy  handsome 
boy"  and  lives  in  New  Jersey. 

Dear  Classmates:  Ten  years  make 
a  great  change  in  a  fellow.  Thank 
Heaven!  I  hear  you  say.  But  will 
you  hear  my  confession!  Were  it  not 
for  seeing  an  account  of  Princeton  news 
in  the  papers,  I  fear  I  might  forget  our 
Alma  Mater.  You  know  that  a  child 
can  forget  his  mother,  but  is  it  not 
worse  if  a  mother  forget  her  child  ?  Cer- 
tain it  is  that  1  am  less  to  my  college 
than  it  is  to  me.  Herein  1  confess  with 
St.  Paul  that  I  am  chief  among  sinners. 
Some  slight  consolation  too,  is  to  be  a- 


-G8— 


mong  sinnei's  and  not  to  be  the  only 
oue  of  the  bad  class.  I  am  glad  to  tell 
yon  that  my  present  permanent  (?)  ad- 
dress is  Montclair,  New  Jersey,  where 
you  will  be  heartily  welcomed,  any  who 
care  to  call.  But  what  do  you  care 
about  the  places  in  which  my  residence 
has  been  since  graduation?  How  shall 
I  answer  about  "success?"  In  fact  how 
can  I  answer  it?  If  as  you  may  well 
suspect,  I  have  failed  will  it  be  pleasant 
foryou  to  hear  it  or  for  me  to  tell  it?  In 
case  of  any  even  small  degree  of  suc- 
cess, surely  the  Committee  by  its  genial 
Secretary  cannot  be  so  silty  to  as  expect 
a  fellow  to  blow  his  own  horn  any  more 
than  to  pull  his  own  nose.  As  I  am  a 
man  married  and  there  is  no  "thusness" 
about  it,  only  happiness  and  a  sturdy, 
handsome  boy,  perhaps  this  brief  "not- 
ice" will  satisfy  the  class  as  it  ought  to 
satisfy  any  one  who  is  reasonable. 

In  1892,  I  voted  for  the  President! 
Now  tell  meye  conundrum  crackers  for 
whom  was  my  ballot  cast?  I  tell  you 
frankly  I  have  no  politics.  That  is  one 
of  the  changes.  You  need  not  conclude 
from  this  that  I  have  no  religion,  What 
religion  is  left  from  my  studies  in  Union 
Seminary  assures  me  that  the  same  dan- 
gers threaten  the  American  people  that 
annoy  every  man  of  us  :  the  dangers 
attendant  upon  selfishness,  greed,  in- 
temperance, ignorance  and  lawlessness. 
The  only  remedy  is  in  Him  who  cures 
souls  not  by  might  nor  by  power  but  by 
spirit.  Spiritual  force  alone  can  combat 
successfully  the  power  of  materialism. 
Having  no  hope  of  enjoying  the  Re- 
union next  June  let  me  send  this  letter 
as  a  word  of  loving  greeting  to  all  the 
boys  of  old  Eighty-three.  May  the  mus- 
ty old  town  be  painted  this  year 
neither  red  nor  black  but  simply  white. 

We  believe,  however,  that  such  senti- 
meuts  as  Fred  expresses-are  unworthy 
the  "true  Princeton  Spirit"  in  a 
man,  and  we  would  heartily  advise 
getting  into  thorough  ''touch  with  Class 
and  College  interests.  Fred,  we  are 
glad  to  put  you  among  the  "Excep- 
tions." 


St.  John,  Hunter,  M.  D.*| 


HUNTER  ST.  JOHN,  M .  D. 

"Remus  has  ignored  our  circulars  be- 
cause, we  presume,  he  regarded  our 
conduct  as  impertinent  in  pretending  we 
did  not  know  all  about  him  and  never 
heard  of  his  famous  "CATARRH 
CURE."  We  have  seen  his  "ad."  in  a 
Pittsburgh  paper.  A  harrowing  series 
of  cuts  illustrating  the  ravage  of  cat- 
arrh, exoites  our  compassion.  The  vic- 
tim is  shown  in  the  first  cut  to  be  one 
who  "has  never  been  sick  in  his  life" 
and  says  "I  am  too  tough  to  get  any- 
thing." The  last  cut  represents  all  that 
is  left  of  him  a  ghastl.y  skeleton  and  we 
receive  the  information  that  "Death 
ends  his  suffering."  Further  the  "ad" 
informs  us  that  certain  death  awaits 
everv  one  who  has  catarrh  unless  he  is 
saved  by  "Dr.  St. John's  Catarrh  Cure." 
We  are  justified  in  concluding  from  the 
wonderful  results  ascribed  to  this  cure 
that  it  will  furnish  a  new  and  improved 
brand  of  Schneid(erian)  membrane  to 
the  victims  of  sternutatory  convulsions; 
new   lining   supplied   to    the    stomach, 


-69- 


lungs,  throat  and  old  ones  repaired  as 
good  as  new,  orders  from  the  country 
supplied  "by  mail";  Epithelium  restor- 
ed on  the  original  pattern:  Spheroidal, 
granular,  ciliated,  etc.,  coughing  and 
sneezing  stopped  entirely  or  reduced 
to  harmonic  principles.  The  "ad"  in 
closing  informs  us  that  "Doctor  St. 
John's  remedies  cure  at  home,  cure 
while  you  work,  cure  while  you  sleep." 
(We  presume  that  this  song  is  sung  by 
the  rescued  to  the  time  of  "What  shall 
the  harvest  be.")  "Dr.  St.  John  can 
be  consulted  free  of  charge  every  day  at 
his  office  7  Sixth  Avenue,  Corner  of 
Wood  Street,  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  from  9 
a.  m.  to  9  p.  m.,  Sundays  included.  A 
free  test  of  the  remedies  to  all  who  ap- 
ply. Patent  applied  for  in  the  Office 
of  the  Commissioner  of  Patents  at 
Washington,  D.  C."  We  can  forgive 
the  Doctor  for  ignoring  us  considering 
that  in  the  time  requisite  to  answer  our 
interrogatories  he  may  save  numerous 
victims.  Surely  all  the  Doctor's  class- 
mates will  be  glad  to  learn  that  among 
the  great  benefactors  of  the  human 
race,  such  as  Keeley  and  Mrs.  Winslow, 
the  future  historian  will  write  the  name 
of  "Doctor  Hunter  St.  John." 

Scott,  William  C. 

"Billy"  is  still  too  busy  with  his  stud- 
ies aud  the  practice  of  his  profession, 
the  law,  to  hunt  around  for  a  wife. 
Two  leap  years  have  passed  since  '83 
and  it  is  strange 

Some  maiden  fair  with  blood  of  bluish  hue. 
Did  not  the  handsome  William  find  and  woo. 

He  has  so  many  requisites  of  a  good 
husband  that  we  regret  to  see  so  much 
good  raw  material  going  to  waste. 
Take  a  day  off,  Billy,  aud  make  some 
girl  happy  with  the  title  of  Mrs.  ex- 
A'ldei  man  Scott.  Since  leaving  college 
Scott's  permanent  address  has  been  No. 
2026  Walnut  St.,  Philadelphia,  Pa.  At 
the  graduating  exercises  of  the  law 
school  of  the  U.  of  Pa.,  he  delivered  the 
oration  and  in  '88  took  the  degree  of  L. 


WILLIAM    C.    SCOTT. 

L.  M.  at  the  same  institution.  He  ex- 
pects soon  to  becomePh.  D.  In  '87  he 
wrote  a  paper  on  "Trusts  for  Accumul- 
ation," which  took  the  first  prize  given 
by  the  law  academy  of  Philadelphia. 
It  was  published  in  the  Bl-mkstone 
Publishing  Compauy'sseries  of  law  text 
books  in  1887.  William  was  elected  a 
member  of  the  common  council  of  Phil- 
adelphia in  April,  1887,  by  the  Republi- 
can party.  He  served  in  that  capacity 
two  years,  was  a  credit  to  the  party, 
elevated  the  moral  tone  of  the  city  and 
only  failed  to  be  re-elected  by  refusing 
to  stand  in  with  the  ward  heelers.  Billy 
thinks  Ned  Royle  made  a  mistake  in 
going  on  the  stage.  "He  is  a  brilliant 
fellow  and  it  seems  such  a  pity  that  the 
world  should  lose  such  a- man."  He, 
Billy,  evidently  classes  the  theatrical 
profession  and  "nunneries"  in  the  same 
category. 

St.  John,  Randolph.*! 

Ran.  may  still   be   addressed   at  No. 
57  Conception  street  Mobile,  Ala.     It  is

RANDOLPH  ST.  JOHN. 

reported  that  owing  to  a  disagreement 
between  Ran.  and  his  mother  regarding 
the  eligibility  of  a  certain  young  lady 
to  become  his  wife,  the  said  Ran. is  now 
rusticating  in  Anniston,  Ala.  We  are 
extremely  sorry  not  to  be  able  to  give  a 
fuller  report  of  these,  our  first  pair  of 
twins,  and  hope  that  they  will  give 
some  account  of  themselves  before  an- 
other Decennial. 

Shanklin,  Robert  F. 

No  wonder  Bob  wi'ites  "uneompiain- 
ing  as  far  as  this  world's  affairs  go,"  for 
we  see  by  his  business  card  that  he  is 
a  member  of  the  firm  of  Goudy,  Shank- 
lin &  Co.,  84  La  Salle  St.  Chicago, 
Mortgage  Bankers  and  he  adds — "Es- 
tates Managed."  Keen  Bob.  You 
ought  to  be  A.l.at  "Managing  Estates." 
Success  to  you  Bob.  You're  worthy  of 
it.     He  says: 

My  Dear  Rudd:  I  send  you  herewith 
my  photograph  for  the  Record  as  re- 
quested by  you,  and   though  cognizant 


of  the  fate  of  the  maiden  who  offered 
her  face  as  her  fortune,  nevertheless  I 
have  so  little  to  tell,  and  so  little  time 
to  give  an  extended  answer  to  all  of 
your  queries,  that  I  will  take  nvy 
chances  and  "travel  on  my  face."  I 
am  neither  so  gray  as  Harlan,  or  portly 
as  Tom  Wannamaker  who  called  upon 
me  yesterday,  nor  so  paternal  as  Billy 
Osborne  who  is  the  father  of  three,  as 
he  informed  me  on  a  recent  visit  I  am 
unmarried,  unengaged,  and  uncom- 
plaining as  far  as  this  world's  affairs 
go.  In  politics,  I  am  a  Democrat. 
Once  a  Democrat,  always  a  Democrat, 
has  been  my  motto. 

I  hope  to  get  to  the  reunion  if  for  no 
better  reason  than  to  "take  care  of' 
Harlan.  Should  I  not  be  there,  dear 
Rudd,  attend  to  this  matter  for  me. 
Just  express  him  to  the  above  address 
and  I  will  be  his  guardian  at  this  end 
of  the  line. 

With  kindest  thoughts  for  all  of  my 
classmates,  and  the  hope  that  I  may  see 
many  of  them  here  during  the  World's 
Fair  season." 

Bob's  photo,  came  too  late  thereby 
proving  that  he  is  the  same  old  "late 
Mr.  Shanklin." 

Shelby,  W.  K. 

Attorney  at  law,  Lexington,  Ky. 

Have  you  heard  the  latest?  Well, 
here  it  is,  I  hope.  I  trust  none  of  the 
fellows  will  treat  more  shabbily  than  I 
the  Decennial  Record.  If  our  old 
Prophet  should  get  in  after  me,  let  me 
know  it,  just  for  revenge.  Below  you 
may  find  answers  to  some  of  your  ques- 
tions. 

Since  June,  '83,  I  have  resided  in 
Lexington,  Ky.,  except  from  Dec,  1889 
to  Feb.,  1893,  during  which  interval  I 
resided  at  Middleborough,  Ky.,  and 
Big  Stone  Gap,  Va.  Permanent  ad- 
dress Lexington,  Ky. 

Taught  nearly  five  years,  practiced 
law  about  four  years.  Caught  "Hail 
Columbia"  in  an  effort  to  climb   to   for- 


—71— 


tune  on  a  "live  wire,"  i.  e.,  the  great 
boom  of  1889-90. 

Not  married.  Bob  Shanklin,  in  Feb- 
ruary, '83,  proposed  a  resolution  against 
conditions,  especially  the  one  called 
matrimony.  I  seconded  the  motion. 
Consistency,  thou  hast  kept  us  single; 
thou  art  a  fraud — may  be. 

Democrat.  Am  opposed  to  war  tar- 
iff, the-bloody  shirt,  the  force  bill,  de- 
magogue pensions,  aud  to  the  party 
that  produced  unnumbered Flannagans. 
I  am  in  favor  of  the  party  that  would 
remedy  some  of  these  evils,  and  that  is 
led  by  the  great  American,  the  great 
statesman,  the  great  man,  Grover 
Cleveland.  I  think  the  American  peo- 
ple are  doing  pretty  well  at  present; 
able  to  sit  up  again  and  take  a  little 
nourishment."  (Shelby  carefully  ab- 
stains from  giving  his  views  as  to  that 
"nourishment"  which  is  so  popular  in 
the  land  of  the  "star-eyed  godess,"  but 
we  suppose  he  does  not  approve  of  the 
doctrine  "that  in  Kentucky  the  whiskey 
is  so  good  that  "intemperance  is  a  vir- 
tue." See  nominating  speechs  at  Chi- 
cago convention.) 

'•Have  been  a  consistent  enemy  to 
"dust"  of  all  kinds.  Escaped  being 
mayor  of  a  town  by  twenty-six  votes, 
and  graduated  in  politics  at  a  single 
season. 

Have  travelled  little.  Went  to  the 
Chicago  Convention  of  1892  as  an  alter- 
nate from  Virginia. 

Having  again  come  within  a  radius  of 
the  Cincinnati  Alumni  Association  I  ex- 
pect to  sing  "Old  Nassu"  hereafter 
with  the  highfed  pork-eaters. 

Have  not  had  a  picture  taken  since 
'83,  but  greatly  enjoyed  looking  at  the 
"mugs"  of  all  the  dear  boys  when  I  ran 
across  my  album  the  other  day. 

I  saw  Frank  VVadleigh  winding 
among  the  Virginia  mountains  last  year 
with  that  smooth  and  business-like 
tread  which  carried  him  through  col- 
lege at  eighteen.  Ed  Royle  is  not  so 
quiet.     But  the  people  talk  right   back 


at  him,  and  shout  at  him  "more,  more!" 
He  made  a  great  hit  in  Lexington  with 
his  excellent,  bright  play.  "A  man  he 
seems  of  cheerful  yesterdays  and  con- 
fident to-morrows."  Hurrah  for  our 
actor-  boy. 

If  I  should  not  be  able  to  attend  the 
decennial  reunion  of  our  class,  may  I 
be  remembered  among  "the  absent  but 
ever  loyal," 

Send  me  acopy  of  the  Record,  fully 
illustrated,  even  to  the  second  genera- 
tion. 


Smith,  Samuel  Irwin. 

Born  Nov.  21,  1859.     Died  at  Dayton, 
Ohio,  Sept.  29,  1885. 


Spier,  Robert  W. 

"Bob"  tells  us  that  he  is  with  E.  D. 
Shepard  &  Co.,  Bankers,  No.  3  Broad 
St.,  N.  Y.  City.  His  residence  is  at  So. 
Orange,  N.  J.  He  spent  three  years  in 
sheep  ranching  in  Kansas,  until  1886, 
then  entered  an  insurance  office  for  five 
years  and  since  then  he  has  been  with 
above  firm.  Says  he  is  "succeeding" 
in  maintaining  health  and  happiness. 
What  better  can  any  man  acquire  than 
that  Bob?  He  is  a  Cleveland  democrat; 
believes  in  low  tariff,  civil  service  re- 
form, and  repeal  of  the  Sherman  silver 
act.  Bob  expects  to  be  at  the  Decen- 
nial, and  is  a  faithful  member  of  the 
Princeton  Club  of  N.  Y. 

"Hodge  is  the  most  modest  man  in 
this  vicinity.  Rumor  has  it,  however, 
that  he  has  never  lost  a  case  where  less 
than  $50,000  was  involved." 

When  the  Secretary  lived  in  Albany 
"Bob"  used  to  "drop  in"quite  frequent- 
ly and  was  always  the  same  genial,  en- 
thusiastic and  pleasant  Bob  as  of  yore. 

Sweetman,  James  T.  Jr.  M.D. 

Sweetman  has  been  holding  the  fort 
in  Albany  and  Troy,  and  trying  to  min- 


imize  the  death  rate,  aud  was  so  suc- 
cessful in  depleting  the  population  at 
Troy  that  he  looked  for  more  world's 
to  conquer,  and  located  at  Ballston 
Spa.,  a  bubbling  suburb  of  Saratoga. 
He  effervesces  as  follows: 

1.  Ballston  Spa,  N.  Y.,  for  past  year 
and  a  half.  Previously  in  Troy,  N.  Y. 
for  3  years  aud  the  remainder  of  time 
in  Washington,  D.  C. 

2.  The  life  of  an  "M.  D."  Have 
been  reasonably  successful  although 
have  had  to  change  residence  owing  to 
health  of  better  half. 

3.  Very  much  so— May  8.  1889,  at 
Washington,  D.  C,  to  Miss  Susie  Piatt 
Boyd. 

4.  We  have  not  thus  far  been  bless- 
ed. 

5.  I  am  a  straight  Republican,  a  pro- 
tectionist. I  believe  in  restricted  Im- 
migration. Think  that  Prohibition  has 
no  place  properly  in  politics.  I  voted 
for  Harrison  and  Reid.  I  am  a  Presby- 
teiuan. 

6.  Have  filled  office  of  Secretary  and 
Treasurer  of  Medical  Association  of 
Troy  and  am  a  member  of  New  York 
State  Medical  Association,  and  of  Uto- 
pian Club  (social)  of  Ballston.  Also  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the 
Presbyterian  church  here.  Not  much 
dust  aud  very  little  glory. 

7.  Have  not  traveled  As  to  the 
World's  Fair  and  Decennial  Reunion — I 
fondly  hope. 

8.  Of  Alumni  Association  of  Albany 
etc. 

9.  I  should  feel  that  I  must  have  a 
Record  whatever  the  cost. 

10.  I  am  afflicted  in  being  separated 
from  all  members  of  the  class  so  that 
for  the  past  year  I  have  seen  none  of 
them. 

Note:  "Spiciness"  is  not  in  my  line 
although  I  heartily  wish  that  the  Rec- 
ord may  be  successful  enough  to  satis- 
fy the  most  exacting. 


Smyser,  John  Kieman. 

Johnny  writes  shortly  after  the 
Princeton-University  of  Pennsylvania 
foot  ball  game  of  last  fall.  And  though 
he  did  prepay  the  postage,  yet  "paper'.' 
was  so  scarce  with  him,  that  he  covered 
both  sides  of  the  sheet  with  exceeding- 
ly diminutive  writing*  He  starts  off  in 
this  pathetic  strain.  "Now  that  we  as 
Princeton's  Alumni  of  Philadelphia  are 
convalescing  from  the  severe  shock  re- 
ceived (financially  aud  otherwise)  at 
the  hands  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania it  seems  well  for  me  to  take  this 
moment  of  semi-rationality  to  answer 
your  very  inquisitive  circular. 

My  exit  from  the  Mauheira  game  was 
similarly  hasty  to  my  precipitate  flight 
across  the  campus  with  "Borgy"  at  my 
heels  in  Soph.  year.  Or  as  Bob  Shank- 
lin  termed  it,  'Hector  and  Achilles 
around  the  walls  of  Troy. 

You  remember  in  the  Sexennial  Re- 
cord I  was  fortunate  enough  to  get  on 
the  last  page  in  the  form  of  'Addenda," 
and  have  since  been  congratulating  my- 
self that  you  had  kindly  not  delayed 
one  page  farther  aud  put  me  among 
the  '"Errata."  I  much  prefer  to  be  an 
'Addenda"  to  an  "Errata". 

Since  '83  I  have  lived  in  Philadelphia, 
graduated  from  the  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy  in  '87  and  since  then 
have  been  the  proprietor  of  two  very 
thrifty  Pharmacies. 

From  a  financial  stand-point  I  have 
succeeded  very  well,  matrimonially  not 
so  well — neither  married,  engaged  nor 
in  love,  and  even  the  "thusness"  is  veil- 
ed in  obscurity.  I  will  consequently 
omit  the  names  and  dates  of  birth  of 
children. 

Your  next  question  is  one  that  space 
only  holds  me  in  restraint.  I  am  a 
Pennsylvania  Republican,  not  in  favor 
of  Prohibition  as  a  party  issue  (though 
some  of  our  party  here  down  liquor 
very  hard);  am  strongly  in  favor  of 
pi'otection  and  particularly  the  restric-

bx-ings  to  our  very  door  an  influx  of 
ignorance,  degradation  and  depravity. 
These  invaders  have  no  comprehension 
of  the  principles  of  liberty  or  duties  of 
citizenship;  or  worthy  aspirations:  they 
have  a  low  plane  of  existence  and  far 
lower  standard  of  living  and  social 
ideas.  To  conserve  the  social  and  econ- 
omic well-being  of  the  nation  is  one  of 
the  highest  obligations  of  responsi- 
ble citizenship.  Hence  to  allow  this 
new  engorgement  of  repugnant  immi- 
gration is  false  humanity  and  false  pol- 
itical economy. 

What  tender  memories  and  recollec- 
tions, what  kindly  sympathies  and 
warm  attachments  the  writing  of  this 
letter  brings  to  me.  The  contrast  of 
reckless  boyhood  to  sober  thoughtful 
manhood.  My  heart  goes  out  to  the 
Class  of  '83  with  pleasant  anticipations 
for  the  reuniting  and  the  consequent  re- 
trospect of  ten  years  past.  To  be  with 
you  on  that  day  shall  be  my  great  pleas- 
ure, and  I  only  regret  that  there  are 
some  who  must  necessarily  be  among 
the  missing. 

To  you  personally,  Ed,  my  kindest 
regards  and  best  wishes.  Though  you 
are  not  aware  of  the  fact,  you  are  the 
first  man  in  '83  with  whom  I  became 
acquainted  on  entering  college. 

Taber,  Sydney  Richmond. 

Very  clearly  the  "Prize"  is  awarded  to 
Sydney  for  the  best  letter.  Its  merit 
speaks  for  itself.     He  says: 

Dear  Rudd:  You  wish  to  know 
"where  I  am  at"  geographically,  pro- 
fessionally, matrimonially,  politically 
and  spiritually?  Well  I,  shall  gladly 
tell  you  for  the  sake  of  doing  my  part 
towards  making  the  record  complete. 

I  spent  the  summer  of  '83  in  traveling 
through  Europe.  I  then  entered 
Columbia  College  Law  School  and  after 
graduating  in  '85,  made,  in  company 
with  Morgan,  an  extended  trip  to  the 
Pacific  coast,     including    visits     to  Yo- 


SYDNEY  RICHMOND  TABEK. 

Semite  Valley  and  Yellowstone  Park. 
Returning  Eastward,  I  stopped  at 
Chicago  and  was  so  much  impressed 
with  the  possibilities  for  success  in  that 
enterprising  place  that  in  October  of 
that  year  I  pulled  up  stakes  in  New 
York  and  settled  in  the  City  of  the 
Winds.  After  serving  my  apprentice- 
ship in  the  office  of  a  leading  law-firm, 
in  the  spring  of  '88  I  announced  to  an 
eagerly  expectant  public  that  I  was 
"open  for  busiuess"  "on  my  own  hook." 
Since  then  I  have  been  serving  those  of 
the  public  that  have  been  pleased  to 
avail  themselves  of  said  announcement. 
My  present  office  is  No.  32  Montank 
Block.  A  law  publisher  is  now  putting 
through  the  mill  a  hand  book  that  I 
hope  will  prove  useful  to  practitioners 
of  commercial  law,  but  as  this  is  not  a 
matter  of  special  interest  to  laymen  of 
'83  who  so  largely  predominate,  I  shall 
not  go  into  details. 

I  have  re-visited  my  old  haunts  in 
the  East  a  number  of  times  and  have 
crossed  the  Atlantic  thrice, — in  1888 
traveling   through   England   and   Scot-

laud,  and  in  '90  paying  a  flying  visit 
to  England  and  Ireland.  Until  my 
marriage,  Shanklin,  Harlan  aud  I  kept 
bachelors  hall.  The  important  event 
referred  to  took  place  on  October  18, 
1890.  It  was  in  Grace  Church,  Orange, 
that  Miss  Julia  Biddle  Cox  gave  me  her 
hand.  We  passed  the  following  winter 
in  Chicago,  but  in  the  spring  of '91  I 
invested  in  a  little  country  home  in  one 
of  the  suberbs  on  the  wooded  bluffs 
overlooking  Lake  Michigan,  where  we 
have  since  lived  and  shall,  I  hope,  con- 
tinue so  doing  for  a  long  time  to  come. 
The  Brambles,  '  Lake  Forest,  Illinois, 
is  therefore  my  answer  to  the  inquery 
for  a  "permanent  address."  Under 
these  circumstances  it  is  superfluous 
for  me  to  add  that  I  expect  to  attend 
the  World's  Fair.  I  fear,  however, 
that  my  great  desire  to  see  and  hear 
and  touch  the  '83  men  to  be  congregat- 
ed at  Princeton  in  June  will  not  be 
gratified. 

The  Princeton  Club  of  Chicago  is  one 
organization  that  makes  itself  heard 
about  once  a  year,  on  the  occasion  of 
its  annual  bauquet  or  of  a  visit  from 
the  College  glee  club.  Harlan  and  I 
have  had  the  misfortune  to  be  members 
of  the  executive  committee  for  several 
years  past.  It  is  uphill  work  to  fill  a 
bauquet  hall  or,  still  worse,  a  concert 
hall,  in  a  city  where  Princetonians  are 
very  few.  Shanklin  Morgan  and  I  met 
with  the  latter  difficulty  three  years 
ago,  and  no  doubt  the  same  experience 
awaits  the  present  committee  in  con- 
nection with  the  approaching  concert 
on  December  23d. 

In  order  to  reply  to  interrogatory  No. 
4  with  that  degiee  of  exactness  that 
would  interest  the  class,  I  must  beg 
that  the  time  for  this  answer  be  extend- 
ed — till,  say  the  reunion  in  June. 

Question  No.  5  opens  a  broad  field.  I 
would  like  to  wander  over  it  at  length 
but  shall  try  to  heed  your  warning  to 
be  brief  I  have  never  sold  ray  soul  to 
any    political     party-     I    am      uncom- 


promising believer  in  the  right  of  pri- 
vate judgment  aud  in  the  application 
of  reason  to  things  political.  Names 
are  to  me  mere  idle  things,  I  vote  for 
what  seem  to  me  the  best  men,  uuder 
whatever  banner  they  may  march, — 
the  men  that  are  best  fitted  for  their 
respective  offices  and  that  give  greatest 
promise  of  accomplishing  reforms. 
And  God  knows  our  country  is  badly 
enough  iu  need  of  reforms.  The  great- 
est political  need,  to  my  mind,  is  to  get 
lid  of  "politics."  Of  its  so  called 
"issues,"  I  believe  that  its  foremost  in 
importance  are  the  tariff,  civil  service 
reform,  pensions,  immigration  and  the 
labor  problem.  I  am  convinced  that 
"protection"  is  in  theory,  without 
authority,  and  in  practice,  is  iniquit- 
able  and  unjust,  and  I  hope  to  see  tax- 
ation reduced  to  a  revenue  basis.  I 
want  to  see  the  civil  service  reform 
idea  extended  to  every  elective  as  well 
as  appointive  office  in  the  land.  The 
present  wholesale  robbery  of  taxpayers 
under  the  guise  of  pensioning  worthy 
veterans  is,  to  my  mind,  a  gigantic 
national  disgrace.  Nothing  it  seems 
to  me,  could  exceed  the  stupidity  of  the 
present  system  bj'  which  the  seeds  of 
desease  and  revolution  are  being  in- 
cessantly and  indiscriminately  dumped 
upon  our  shores.  I  long  for  the  mil- 
enial  day  when  this  country  will  be 
emancipated  from  the  despotism  of 
trades  unions,  and  I  sometimes  wonder 
whether  another  "emancipation  proc- 
lamation" will  not  be  necessary  before 
that  day  is  reached.  For  the  reason 
that  Mr  Cleveland's  election  seemed  to 
give  better  promise  of  accomplishing 
at  least  some  of  these  reforms,  I  voted 
for  him  a  fortnight  ago,  although  1  had 
and  have  a  profound  admiration  for 
Gen.  Harrison  as  a  man  and  as  a  states- 
man. Prohibition,  as  a  third  party 
movement  or  any  other  kind  of  move- 
ment, I  do  not  believe  in  at  all.  It  is, 
in  my  opinion,  unwarrantable  on  prin- 
ciple,   and    experience   has   proven    its 


-75— 


impracticability.  I  rather  wondered 
at  first  why  you  placed  "politics  and 
religious  affiliations"  in  the  same 
category  and  interrogatory,  but  after 
writing  my  above  views,  the  reason  for 
it  appears.  The  one  naturally  runs 
into  the  other.  Political  life  and  re- 
ligious life  are,  or  ought  to  be,  both 
struggles  for  what  is  best.  The  con- 
nection between  them  is  especially  close 
from  my  own  point  of  view.  For  I 
insist  upon  the  same  independence  in 
the  one  case  as  in  the  other.  I  con- 
tinue a  member  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church,  recognizing  the  expediency  of 
church  organizations  and  being  in 
sympathy  with  it  in  regard  to  essentials; 
but  I  am  heartily  out  of  sympathy  with 
many  prominent  Presbyterian  men  and 
dogmas.  Neither,  by  any  means,  is 
that  church  the  only  one  with  which  I 
have  "affiliations."  I  am  an  Episcopalian 
by  marriage,  so  to  speak,  In  fact,  I 
am  ready  to  affiliate  with  any  creed, 
organization  or  movement  that  com- 
mends itself  to  reason  and  makes  for 
righteousness.  I  have  a  conviction, 
which  has  been  steadily  deepening  dur- 
ing the  ten  years  since  finishing  our  col- 
lege course,  that  after  all,  the  whole  end 
and  aim  of  the  course  of  life  is  to  develop 
Christlike  character.  The  means  neces- 
sarily vary  with  the  individual;  whatever 
means  accomplish  this  end  are,  to  my 
mind,  the  right  ones:  It  is  taking  the 
Christian  world  a  long  time  to  get  back 
to  Christ's  creed,  on  which  not  only 
hung  all  the  Law  and  the  Prophets  but 
on  which  now  hang  all  the  learning, 
of  Philosophers,  Priests  and  Preachers. 
For  this  reason  that  the  Brotherhood  of 
Christian  Unity  seems  to  have  already 
got  there.  I  have  joined  that  body. 
Perhaps  I  cannot  better  indicate  in  a 
word  my  "religious  affiliations"  than 
by  saying  that  Drnmraond  has,  to  my 
mind,  preached  the  greatest  sermon  in 
the  world  simply  because  he  has  struck 
to  the  very  heart  of  the  greatest  theme 
in  the  world. 


The  word  "sermon"  brings  me  to  my 
senses.  Have  I  preached  my  congrega- 
tion to  sleep?  Well,  my  "lastly"  will 
be  a  mention  of  the  '83  men  that  I  have 
heard  from  or  seen  since  graduation. 

Hodge  attended  my  wedding.  Har- 
lan was  there  too;  in  fact,  he  stood  up 
with  me.  Of  him  I  have  seen  more 
than  any  of  our  other  men.  I  fancy 
that  your  anticipation  in  regard  to  the 
men  that  would  be  too  modest  to  men- 
tion their  own  honors  will  prove  well 
founded  in  his  case.  He  will  probab'y 
mention  that  he  is  practicing  law,  but 
he  will  fail  to  add,  with  great  success 
already  and  with  flattering  prospects 
for  the  future.  Much  less  will  he  men- 
tion the  fact  that  he  is  being  promin- 
ently talked  of  as  the  successor  of  Judge 
Blodgett,  whose  retirement  from  the 
United  States  District  Court  in  Chicago 
leaves  vacant  a  most  responsible  and 
honorable  position.  Harlan's  candi- 
dacy is  endorsed  by  some  of  the  leading 
attorneys  at  the  bar.  By  the  time  the 
decennial  appears  the  President  will 
have  made  the  appointment.  If  this 
crown  should  not  descend  upon  the 
head  of  this  son  of  '83,  the  class  will 
remember  that  into  such  an  appoint- 
ment usually  enter  unfortunately  many 
considerations  besides  a  man's   merits. 

I  have  seen  less  of  Shanklin  since  he 
forsook  the  law  and  since  I  forsook 
bachelorship.  However  I  understand 
that  success  is  smiling  upon  his  new  de- 
parture— the  business  of  "mortgage 
banker" — I  am  disposed  to  condone  his 
desertion;  and  when  he  forsakes  the 
ranks  last  named,  (though  as  yet  I  see 
no  sign)  I  shall  forgive  him   altogether. 

I  recently  received  an  enjoyable  visit 
from  Lewis.  Over  my  hearth  we  had  a 
small  reunion  of  our  own,  indulging  in 
reminiscences  of  all  the  men  and  profs, 
of  Whig  and  Ivy,  &c. 

Speir  also  passed  through  Chicago 
last  spring,  looking  well  and  prosper- 
ous,— the   reflection,    undoubtedly,     of 


—76- 


his  success  iu  handling  city  and  county 
bonds. 

Alexander  will  probably  speak  for 
himself  from  Paris.  Iu  case  he  should 
not  however,  I  shall  mention  that  he  is 
connected  with  a  prominent  law  office 
there.  He  is  acting  counsel  of  the 
American  Legation  and  is  deep  in  in- 
ternational law  and  other  questions  of 
interest.  He  will  shortly  open  a  simil- 
ar office  in  London. 

Colt,  the  champion  globe  trotter  of 
the  class,  looked  smiliug  and  stout  as 
he  flew  through  Chicago  last  year. 
Riggs  used  occasionally  to  delight  the 
eyes  and  hearts  of  '83  men  here,  but  re- 
C3ntly  we  have  seen  nothing  of  him. 

I  received  a  hearty  visit  from  Hewitt 
during  the  summer.  Through  his  ap- 
pearance of  being  a  much  occupied  bus- 
iness man  that  he  is  in  fact,  I  discover- 
ed the  same  old  Charlie.  Agnew, 
Peace  and  Perrine  have  also  flitted 
through  Chicago  at  different  times. 

Morgan  I  used  to  see  frequently  until 
his  removal  from  Chicago  to  New  York 
in  the  spring  of '91.  Mrs.  Morgan  and  he 
are  deeply  missed  by  many  others  than 
the  '83  men  here.  To  them  St.  James 
Mission  owes  very  largely  its  growth 
from  a  struggling  little  band  up  to  a 
useful,  permanent  organization  furnish- 
ing Sunday  services  and  week  day 
classes  and  clubs. 

I  found  Osborne  in  his  New  York 
law  office  three  years  ago,  a  much"  oc- 
cupied man  of  affairs.  Field  I  ran 
against  in  London  four  years  ago. 

If  Roberts  were  not  sure  to  give  an 
account  of  himself  I  would  tell  you 
what  I  learned  while  we  chatted  to- 
gether in  my  office  last  week. 

Of  course  you  can  count  on  me  to 
take  a  copy  of  the  Record,  with  or  with- 
out pictures,  half  tone  or  whole  tone. 
I  am  looking  forward  to  it  eagerly. 

My  hearty  regards  to  all  the  men  that 
you  will  meet  at  the  reunion.

WM.  J.  TAYLOR. 

"Billy"  writes  that  he  is  "in  the 
transportation  business  of  John  H. 
Stariu  at  Pier  18,  North  River,  plod- 
ding along  from  morning  to  uight  act- 
ing in  the  capacity  of  General  Ticket 
Agent  for  our  various  steamboat  enter- 
prises and  Jack  of  all  trades  when  I 
am  not  very  much  occupied  in  my  par- 
ticular department.  I  am  not  married. 
I  am  not  engaged.  I  have  not  joined 
any  society  or  enterprise,  or  covered 
myself  with  glory,  but  have  been  jog- 
ging along  at  an  easy  gait  and  trying 
to  get  all  the  good  I  could  from  life 
from  day  to  day. 

I  send  you  the  latest  photo  of  myself 
taken  by  an  amateur  under  flashlight. 
As  to  political  preferences,  I  might  be 
described  as  a  Democrat  iu  national 
affairs,  an  exponent  of  Cleveland's 
views,  anti-Hill  in  New  York  State  and 
anti-Tamany  in  New  York  City.  1  am 
a  free  trader  and  against  silver  tinker- 
ing. I  do  not  believe  iu  Prohibition, 
but  am  in  favor  of  high  license,  the 
higher  the  better."

Thompson  Chas.   V.* 

Although  Vauce  writes  late,  May  19, 
'90,  he  makes  up  a  chatty  and  enter- 
tainiug  letter,  which  we  give  below: 

"After  graduating  I  went  to  Ger- 
many and  studied  at  the  University  of 
Jena,  where  in  the  old  days  Goethe  and 
Schiller  and  other  pleasant  people 
made  merry.  Then  came  a  bit  of  wan- 
dering through  Europe.  After  the 
loafing  came  the  'everyday  work'  act. 
I  went  on  The  Tribune,  of  Chicago. 
After  two  years  I  went  back  to  Europe, 
Germany  and  then  back  to  America  for 
a  few  weeks.  Chance  dragged  me  over 
to  London  again.  I  worked  on  English 
newspapers;  wrote  bad  books  and 
translated  good  ones;  found  that  the 
peuman's  trade  is  much  the  same  the 
world  over.  Having  found  this  I  came 
back  a  few  months  ago  to  my  first  love. 
The  Tribune .  So  here  I  am  in  Chicago  * 
— and  the  World's  Fair  is  coming. 
'What  have  I  done  for  Old  Nassau?' 
Very  little,  I  fear;  and  yet  this:  under 
all  circumstances,  and  in  all  places,  I 
have  said  the  good  true  word  for 
Princeton.  I  ran  across  Bickham  of 
'84  the  other  day.  We  boxed  for  a  bit 
and  I  knocked  him  out.  In  order  to 
do  it  I  dislocatod  a  thumb,  but  then 
one  would  do  a  deal  more  than  that  to 
keep  up  tin' well  won  prestige   of    '83," 

*  Later.  Thompson  had  moved  to 
New  York  when  we  last  heard  and 
was  with  the  "Mail  and  Express."

Harry  gives  us  a  homeopathic  close 
of  himself  as  follows:

Steubenville,  Ohio.  He  was  married 
April  20,  1892,  at  Steubenville,  Ohio, 
to  Miss  Mary  H.  Hagan.  He  writes 
that  he  is  a  "Democrat.  Free  trade

better  than  lean.  In  my  opinion  no

that  the  American  nation  cannot  meet 
and  overcome  in  less  time  than  blatant 
alarmists  can  tell  about  it.  My  relig- 
ion has  a  Congregational  tendency.

Updike,  Hartley  T 

After  graduating  from  Uniou  Theolo- 
gical Seminary  iu  '86,Updike  went  west 
as  a  Home  Missionary  and  brought  up 
at  Popular  Bluff,  Mo.  Since  May  1, 
1889,  he  has  been  pastor  of  a  church  at 
Lebanon,  111.  He  has  visited  most  all 
the  large  cities  of  this  country,  but  has 
not  been  out  of  the  United  States.  He 
is  an  occasional  contributor  to  the 
"Mid-continent."  Uppy  was  always 
slow  of  speech.  He  seems  also  to  be 
slow  to  act,  for  in  the  Triennial  record 
he  was  reported  ''engaged"  but  up  to 
last  June  he  was  not  married-  He 
deemed  it  necessary  to  state  that  he 
had  no  children.  From  Jim  Russell's 
letter  we  surmise  that  "Uppy"  has 
doubled  up  since  June,  1889. 


Volrath,    Edward. 

Volrath  volleys  thus: 

DearRudd:  So  you  want  to  "Quiz" 
me — air  myself  in  an  "interview"  as  it 
were!  Well,  I've  no  particular  objec- 
tions, seeing  that  any  exceptions  on  my 
part  to  your  interrogations  will  be 
promptly  sustained  by  the  Judge  in  the 
case. 

My  address  is  Bucyrus,  Ohio,  having 
resided  here  since  graduation.  Profes-

Iu  politics  a  Republican— why?— be-

were  not  in  harmony  with  the  princi-

immigratiou,  aud  am  fully  in  accord 
with  the  National  Republican  platform 
as  adopted  at  Minneapolis.  Henee 
don't  favor  "third  party"  prohibition 
any  more  than  I  relish  democratic  as- 
cendency. The  dangers  confronting 
our  people  are  numerous.  The  first 
year  of  the  incoming  democratic  ad- 
ministration will  sufficiently  define 
them.  [We  think  some  of  our  M.  Ds.

for  Volrath;  he  seems  to  have  it  pretty 
bad.]

Expect  to  see  the  World's  Fair — took 
part  in  the  Military  Display  at  the  de- 
dication last  mouth.  I  want  to  attend 
'88's  Decennial  Reunion  if  possible. 

Vulcheff,  Rev.  Mindo  G.  Ph.  D. 

It  is  rather  pleasant  to  realize  that 
our  class  is  doing  valiant  service  in 
all  parts  of  the  world.  Bulgaria  is 
seeing  a  new  light,  because  here  and 
there  are  stationed  such  men  as  Vul- 
cheff.  He  has  already  done  good  ser- 
vice in  the  cause  of  truth  and  education 
as  his  letter  modestly  suggests.  We 
wish  him  God  Speed  and  success  in  his 
work:     He  writes: 

"Sistove,  Bulgaria,  March  13,  1893. 
My  dear  Rudd:  The  sexennial  record 
was  so  interesting  and  'phunny'  that 
ail  the  boj's  would  be  supposed  to 
respond  when  data  was  required  at  a 
later  time  yet  I  was  among  those  de- 
linquents who  were  blessed  with  a  val- 
entine. Excuses  were  lame  indeed  yet 
you  may  understand  when  I  say  that 
this  year  I  am  in  charge  of  our  mission 
school  here,  with  intiuite  duties  to  per- 
form. To  questions  four  and  five  have 
nothing  to  say  except  that  I  am  a  mem- 
ber of  Bulgaria  Mission  Conference. 
Since  the  last  report  1   have   published

a  text  book  on  International  Law,  and 
translated  Druminond's  'Greatest  Thing 
in  the  World,'  a  copy  of  the  second 
edition  of  which  I  forward  you,  At 
present  I  have  to  translate  and  com- 
pile a  number  of  pages  for  our  monthly 
mission  magazine.  Since  writing  last 
have  twice  visited  Constantinople  as 
well  as  Bucharest,  Antwerp  and  cros- 
sed the  mountains  (Balkans)  at  Shipka 
Pass  Am  still  the  only  Princeton  repre- 
sentative in  this  section  of  the  world 
and  have  not  seen  any  of  my  classmates 
for  a  long  time.  Had  thought  of  visit- 
ing the  Exposition  but  find  I  cannot 
leave  my  work  for  a  long  enough  time. 
Behold  my  phiz  which  I  enclose.  It 
will  be  good  to  see  the  faces  of  the  boys 
and  to  see  what  changes  time  hath 
worked  with  them.  I  may  say  that  we 
are  meeting  with  success  in  all  senses. 
Best  remembrances  to  you  all.  Long 
live  '83. 

P.  S.     My   wife   will   be   in  America 
on  a  visit  this  summer.     Please  let   her

THOMAS   B.    WANAMAKER. 

It  is  no  pleasure  to  the  Secretary  to 
score  "delinquents"  year  after  year. 
Nor  is  it  agreeable  to  "write  up"  men, 
who  seem  deliberately  to  ignore  all  re- 
quests and  appeals  for  assistance.  We 
desire  to  believe  Wanamaker  has  some 
interest  in  the  class  as  a  class,  even 
though  his  thorough  indifference  might 
prove  the  contrary.  The  hard  work 
which  some  of  the  class  officers  and 
many  private  members  devote  to  class 
interests  would  at  least  seem  to  be 
worthy  of  courteous  recognition  and 
brief  reply.  For  some  reason  Tommy 
withholds  all  of  these. 

Few  men  in  the  class  have  it  so  clear- 
ly within  their  grasp,  by  reason  of  abil- 
ity, position  and  means,  to  add 
strength  and  permanency  to  our  class 
organization  and  esprit  du  corps 
than  Wanamaker,  and  yet  few    have 


done  so  little.  Verily,  the  student  iu 
college  is  the  father  of  the  type  he  will 
be  later.  We  suppose  Tom  is  still  liv- 
ing in  Philadelphia  and  is  of  course 
financially  successful.  His  history  is 
given  in  the  Triennial  and  the  photo 
here  given  is  that  of  1H83.

AARON  C.  WARD,  M.  D. 

Newark  is  at  last  assuming  a  healthy 
state  because  of  the  presence  of  such 
"life  preservers"  as  our   talented    Acey. 

Those  of  us  who  were  present  at  the 
Sexennial  Reunion  re-call  Acey's  stir- 
ring speech  as  he  accepted  the  two  cups 
for  his  twin  boys  presented  by  the  old 
"S.  S.  S."  Ever  since  then  he  has 
been  trying  to  keep  the  baby  popula- 
tion of  Newark  intact,  and  with  what 
success,  he  leaves  us  to  judge  from  his 
letter.

Whitlock,  Frank  L. 

Whitelock's  Son  is  to  become  the 
proud  possessor  of  the  title  "Class  of 
'83  Boy,"  so  Frank  writes  us  in  the  full 
happy  vein. 

Enclosed  please  find  photos  of  my 
girl  and  boy.  You  already  know  their 
ages.  I  have  lost  the  Class  questions. 
I  seriously  object  to  having  my  photo 
taken.  You  have  no  doubt  heard  of  the 
actress  who  made  her  fortune  on  the 
stage  by  the  most  liberal  display  of 
limb  and  yet  permitted  a  slight  injury 
on  her  knee  cap  to  grow  mortal  from 
nervous  dread  of  having  it  examined 
by  a  physician.  My  face  has  not  been 
my  fortune,  although  it  has  been  liber- 
ally displayad  at  town  meetings,  in  the 


Court  House,  in  Conventions  and  in 
the  Halls  of  Legislation  and  3Tet,  if  you 
believe  me,  I  have  never  been  able  to 
throw  off  that  nervousness  attributed 
to  ugly  people.  Hence  my  objection 
to  haviug  my  counterfeit  presentment 
appear  in  the  Decennial   Record. 

Since  my  last  communication  to  the 
Class  I  have  paced  my  path  in  leisurely 
manner.  The  political  revolution  in 
our  state  in  1890  proved  a  frost — a  kill- 
ing frost — to  my  political  ambition.  A 
recent  issue  of  The  State  newspaper 
says:  "The  best  recommendation  to 
the  "dominant  element"  is  not  to  know 
the  name  of  one's  grandfather,  to  call 
oneself  a  wool-hat,  one  gallus  boy  and 
to  have  been  guilty  of  some  act  which 
has  made  one  a  social  outcast."  This 
I  believe  to  be  true  and  instead  of  re- 
pining, my  friends  tell  me,  I  should 
feel  honored  by  the  "dominant  ele- 
ment's" disfavor.  I  still  count  myself 
a  Jeffersonian  democrat  of  the  Grover 
Cleveland  stamp.  I  am  not  a  prohibi- 
bitionist,  never  was  and  never  expect 
to  be.  I  believe  liquor  to  be  an  evil  not 
in  itself  but  only  in  so  far  as  it  is  made 
the  innocent  victim  of  the  beastly  ap- 
petite of  a  glutton  and  gourmand  and 
and  the  sooner  we  made  the  intemper- 
ate use  of  whiskey  a  crime  punishable 
in  like  manner  as  larceny  the  better  it 
will  be  for  the  interest  of  society.  lam 
not  a  Sentimentalist   on    this  question. 

The  other  questions  I  have  forgotten 
and  if  you  want  categorical  answers  to 
them  you  will  please  send  me  another 
copy. 

Wilson,  Prof.  Andrew  W.,  Jr. 

Andy  at  Saltsburg,  Pa.,  seems  to  be 
doing  some  good  work  for  Princeton  as 
the  following  relates: 

2.  Am  runuiuga  Preparatory  School. 
Prepared  12  for  college  last  year,  nine 
of  whom  go  to  Princeton.  One  of 
them  took  the  Pittsburgh  prize  for  best 
examination.  Our  school  is  considered 
a  success.    Although   only   four  years 


—82— 


ANDREW  W.  WILSON,  JR. 

old,  last  year  we  cleared  money  above 
interest  on  investment  and  expenses  of 
living. 

3.  Am  married  and  the  happy  event 
took  place  Aug.  22,  1989,  at  Indiana, 
Pa.,  to  Bessie  Gladys  Sansom. 

4.  Children  two.  Sarah  Sansom 
Wilson,  June  7,  1890,  Indiana,  Pa. 
Anna  Graham  Wilson,  Nov.  8,  1891, 
Saltsburg,  Pa. 

5.  Democrat,  because  I  believe  it  is 
the  party  of  the  people,  is  opposed  in 
general  to  monopolies,  has  a  better 
idea  of  political  economy,  and  after  all, 
principally  because  it  had  the  good 
sense  to  nominate  Grover  Cleveland 
the  man  in  American  polities  today. 
Dangers  are  perhaps  ignorance  and 
bribery.  Remedies,  education,  civil 
service  reform  and  Australian  ballot. 
Am  a  Presbyterian  Elder.  Have  just 
returned  from  the  Synod  of  Pa. 

Received  the  degree  of  Ph.  D.  from 
Washington  and  Jefferson  College. 
Our  school  ball  nine  defeated  every  cob 
lege  and  school  team  it  played,    includ- 


ing Washington  and  Jefferson,  and 
Western  University.  The  battery  will 
soon  be  in  Princeton. 

7.  Expect  to  attend  World'sFair  and 
'83's  Decennial. 

8.  Yes.     Western,  Pa.  Club.

CHARLES  G.  WILSON. 

Our  sprinter  gives  the  signal  to  his 
nimble  thoughts  and  off  they  go  at  a 
lively  an  interesting  rate: 

1.  Rose  Hill,  Citrus  Co.,  Florida,  in 
which  place  I  have  resided  since  I  left 
Princeton,  except  first  six  months,  was 
then  in  Palatka,  Fla. 

2.  Have  been  making  a  liviug  and 
an  orange  grove,  at  neither  of  which 
did  I  make  a  "team".  Have  no  one  to 
blame  but  myself  however  and  will  try 
to  make  a  better  show  in  the  future. 

3.  Have  that  pleasure.  Jennie  L. 
Kininger,  Oct.  20,  1885,  at  Bowling 
Green,  Ohio.

hill,  Fla.     Abby,    July   23,    '91    at  Ells-

worth,  Kansas.  Both  inherit  the  ami- 
able disposition  of  their  mother,  togeth- 
er with  the  superior  good  looks  of  their 
father,  and  from  them  both  possibly 
their  alertness  of  mind  and  body,  at 
least  these  girls  can  be  in  many  more 
places  in  a  given  time  than  is  at  all  con- 
sistent with  the  general  welfare. 

5.  Am  a  Prohibitionist.  1.  For 
consistancy  sake.  I  must  vote  as  I 
pray.  2.  America  for  Americans  and 
so  I  am  a  protectionist.  3.  No  Free 
Silver  unless  adopted  by  the  World.  4. 
Immigration  should  be  controlled  and 
regulated  so  as  to  keep  out  all  but  best 
class  of  immigrants.  5.  Certainly  be- 
lieve in  prohibition  as  a  third  party 
movement.  Believe  the  Prohibition 
party  will  be  the  dominant  one  within 
the  next  decade  or  two.  6.  Voted  for 
Bidwell  and  Cranfill.  7.  Chief  danger 
to  the  American  people  is  that  they  are 
growing  away  from  God  and  the  Christ- 
ian Sabbath.  The  negro  question  is 
still  a  vital  question  no  nearer  solution 
now  than  in  1860,  though  on  different 
lines.  8.  Am  not  able  to  apply  any 
remedy,  though  I  hope  much  good  may 
come  for  the  alleviation  of  both  these 
evils  thi'ou.h  the  Prohibition  party.  9. 
Presbyterian. 

6.  Joined  the  Masons.  More  dust 
than  glory.  And  the  dust  don't  seem 
to  add  to  my  bank  account  either.  Am 
living  a  quiet  uneventful  life  down  here 
among  the  pines,  and  orange  groves. 
Am  not  even  Captain  or  Colonel  aud  so 
have  concluded  to  emigrate,  and  stir  up 
a  little  life. 

7.  Haven't  travelled  except  a  trip  to 
Colorado  or  the  Rockies  where  by  the 
way  I  blew  in  a  little  "dust"  into  a  hole 
in  the  ground  "called  a  vein"  which 
hasn't  panned  out  at  all.  2.  Hope  to 
attend  the  World's  Fair  and  '83  Decen- 
nial. 

8.  No.     "Crackers"  don't  educate. 

9.  Should  like  to  have  the  Record 
with  the  fellows  pictures.  Count  me 
in. 


10.  See  very  few  '83  men,  in  fact  few 
Princeton  men. 

Run  onto  Baldwin  once  in  a  while. 
He  is  doing  finely  at  Palatka.

Frank  steps  up  to  the  home  plate  and 
with  his  trusty  "bass  bawl  bat"  lines 
out  the  following: 

"Address  150  William  St.,  Provi-

Providence.

Cleveland's  principles  of  tariff  reform. 
(a.)  The  tariff  is  an  indirect  tax  that 
falls  chiefly  upon  the  poor,  (b.)  War 
tariff  in  time  of  peace  is  injustice,  (c.) 
The  present  tariff  is  not  needed  to  fos- 
ter infant  industries,  but  is  an  imposi- 
tion fostering  monopolies.  Believe  in 
repeal  of  the  Sherman  act.  A  lie  can 
never  beget  good  though  it  be  told  upon 
a  silver  dollar.  Voted  for  Cleveland. 
Am  a  Baptist. 

6.  Have  had  articles  published  in 
newspapers;  have  been  elected  a  mem- 
near  of  boards,  corporations,  etc. 

7.  Expect  to  go  to  the  World's  Fair. 
Am  not  certain  that  I  cau  get  to  the 
Decennial  Reunion. 

8.  Am  not  a  member  of  any  Alumni 
Club.     There  is  none  near  at  hand. 

9.  I  favor  omitting  pictures  from 
the  Record.  If  this  is  done  I  shall  take 
a  copy. 

I  am  so  far  removed  from  the  mem- 
bers of  '83  that  I  seldom  have  the  pleas- 
ure of  seeing  any  of  them.  The  last 
one  with  whom  I  had  any  conversation 
was  the  ubiquitous  and  experienced 
Duaue.     The  privilege  was   profitable. 

Young.  Clias.  I. 

Nothing  will  rejoice  the  hearts  of  '83 
more  as  they  come  back  to  old  Prince- 
ton than  to  see  Ira  enjoying  his  old 
time  health  and  strength  and  once 
more  taking  up  his  business  life.  It 
seems  too  good  to  be  true.  He  touches 
an  electric  button  and  then  asks  the 
Secretary  to  do  the  rest  as  follows: 

My  dear  far-too-good-natured  Secre. 
tary  Ed:  I  feel  that  I  owe  you  an 
apology  for  my  delay  in  answering 
your  list  of  questions  for  our  Decennial 
Record,  but  1  hope  you  will  accept  my 
apology  and  answers  with  more  alacri- 
ty than  your  delinquent  friend  and 
classmate  has  shown  in  answering 
them.

cess  in  moderation,  and  one  or  two 
other  things  known  as  ''knock  downs" 
but  I  am  still  in  the  ring 

5.  Am  an  Independent  Republican. 
In  regard  to  the  "Prohibition"  or 
"Third  Party"  movement  I  have  to  say 
that  when  they  become  a  "Temperance 
Party"  and  I  mean  "Temperance"  in 
its  broadest  application,  they  will  have 
my  vote — but  not  before.  I  was  un- 
able to  vote  in  1892:  Am  a  member  of 
the  Presbyterian  church. 

6.  Have  written  a  little  for  publica- 
tion, but  nothing  of  much  moment. 

7.  In  December  '91  I  came  to  Pitts- 
burgh to  take  up  my  work  as  well  as  I 
could  where  I  left  off  in  the  spring  of 
'88,  and  I  have  found  no  reason  to  re- 
gret the  step.  I  have  made  occasional 
visits  to  Princeton,  and  I  am  looking 
forward  with  the  greatest  pleasure  to 
another  visit  there  this  coming  sum- 
mer. I  would  not  miss  the  '83  Reunion 
if  I  could  help  it  for  a  house  and  farm. 
There  is  too  much  pleasure  in  the  re- 
collections of  our  "Sexennial  Reunion"

to  permit  me  to  leave  anything  undone 
that  would  make  possible  my  being  with 
you  in  June.

9.  I  shall  take  a  Class  Record  in  ei- 
ther case. 

I  hope  to  see  all  of  the  members  of 
the  Class  of  '83  now  living,  in  Princeton 
in  June. 


JOHN  M.  ZAPF 

This  quiet  and  modest  ex-member  of 
the  class,  has  resided  in  Princeton,  his 
college  home,  and  desires  a  voice  in  the 
Record,  as  follows: 

1.  My  present  and  permanent  address 
is  No.  24  Dickinson  St.  Princeton,  N.  J. 
where  I  have  resided  since  graduation. 

1.  Have  led  a  retired  life. 

3.  1  am  not  a  married  man,  neither 
am  I  engaged,  why  this  thusness  I  can 
not  say. 

5.  I  am  a  Republican  and  Protection- 
ist. Do  not  believe  in  Prohibition  as  a 
"Third  Party"  movement.  Voted  for 
Harrison  in  1892.     I  am  a  Presbyterian. 

7.  It  is  doubtful  if  I  attend  the 
World's  Fair,  but  shall  be  on  hand  at 
83's  Decennial  Reunion. 

8.  I  am  not  a  member  of  any  Alumni 
Club. 


Evans,  Rev.  Chas.  A. 

On  account  of  sickuess  Evans  was 
obliged  to  leave  College  and  subse- 
quently enter  and  graduate  with  '84. 
He,  however,  was  granted  his  diploma 
by  the  faculty  to  date  back  to  '83,  and 
desires  to  be  considered  a  member  of 
the  class  with  which  he  spent  three 
years,  hence  we  insert  his  letter  here. 
He  is  building  up  a  large  and  pros- 
perous  church   in    the    city    of    Roch-

ester.  We  rejoice  with  him  in  the  re- 
turning  strength  of  his  wife  who  was 
so  critically  ill  during  the  past  winter. 
The  class  will  remember  that  he  mar- 
ried a  sister  of  Borgmeyer.  Evans  re- 
cites his  eai'eer  thus: 

1.     "Present  permanent  address,    297 
Mt.  Hope  Ave.,  Rochester,  NY. 


2  Was  licensed  by  Presbytery  of 
Chicago  March  29th,  1886  and  ordained 
to  Presbyterian  ministry  Dec.  15th  of 
the  same  year  by  the  Presl)37tery  of 
Detroit.  At  present  pastor  of  Calvary 
Presbyterian  church  Rochester,   N.   Y. 

3.  Married  May  13th,  1886  to  Miss 
Dena  L.  Borgmeyer  at  Rahway,   N.    Y. 

4.  Louis  Alexander  Evans  was  born 
March  12th,  1890.  At  present  writing 
his  height  is  37  inches,  weight  40  pounds 
"Golden  Hair,"  dark  brown  eyes  (like 
his  mother.)  Very  intellectual,  but 
not  sedate  (like  his  father.)  Expect  to 
enter  him  at  Princeton  soon.  He  is 
already  iu  training  for  the  football 
team. 

6.  Was  born  and  bred  a  Republican, 
but  do  not  at  present  favor  a  high  pro- 
tective tariff.  A  protective  tariff  has 
done  much  to  increase  the  national 
wealth,  but  that  wealth  has  been  con- 
gested instead  of  evenly  distributed. 
Most  of  the  "infant  industries"  are 
able  to  go  alone  without  the  aid  of  a 
protective  tariff.  Under  it  competition 
has  been  abused  and  it  is  the  duty  of 
good  government  to  insure  free 
competition  and  overthrow    monoply. 

I  do  not  believe  in  "free  silver  coin- 
age." In  regard  to  immigration,  I  be- 
lieve a  change  in  the  naturalization 
laws  necessary.     Foreigners  should   be 


required  to  remain  a  certain  length  of 
time  without  the  right  to  the  ballot, 
until  the  principles  of  our  government 
can  be  instilled  into  their  minds,  as  our 
own  sons  must  wait  before  being  vest- 
ed with  the  right  of  sufferage.  I  be- 
lieve the  "Greary  law"  to  be  a  mistake, 
as  too  stringent.  If  the  bars  are  put 
up  at  one  ocean  they  should  be  put  up 
at  the  other  also.  Every  immigrant 
must  become  a  true  American.  I  do 
not  believe  in  Prohibition  as  a  Thii'd 
party  movement. 

6.  Have  written  no  books,  but  have 
done  some  editorial  work.  For  two 
years  was  principal  of  an  academy- 
Have  grubbed  industriously  iu  the  dust 
and  found  it  necessary  to  do  some 
"blasting"  among  the  rocks,  but  have 
accumulated  little  of  "dust"  or  "rocks" 
and  no  glory  whatever. 

7.  Spent  about  a  year  in  Europe  for 
travel  and  study.  Do  not  at  present 
expect  to  attend  the  Columbian  Expo- 
sition but  may  surrender  at  the  last 
moment  and  go  with  the  crowd.  Hope 
to  attend  '83's  Decennial  Reunion. 

8.  Not  at  present  a  member  of  an 
Alumni  Club,  but  would  be  glad  to  aid 
in  organizing  one  in  Western  New 
York. 

9.  Must  have  a  copy  of  the  record. 


Non-Graduate  Members- 


Note.  But  few  of  the  Ex-members  have  written  the  Secretary.  We  add  their 
address  as  we  knew  it  in  1889.  Please  advise  the  Secretary  of  any  facts  you  may 
have  regarding  any  classmate. 


Barclay,  J.  M. 

Has  sent  no  report,  but  we  believe  he 
is  still  cashier  of  the  Barclay  National 
Bank  of  Greensburg,  Pa. 


Beattie,  W.  C. 

Was  a  hard  student,  an  earnest 
Christian,  and  had  a  very  lovable  and 
kind  disposition.  He  would  no  doubt 
have  been  one  of  our  brightest  clergy- 
men had  not  death  claimed  him  on 
April  2,  1882. 


Bell,  Wallace  M. 

We  think  he  is  still  iu  Chicago  at  238 
LaSalle  St.,  but  would  be  glad  of  any 
information.

Gulick,    William  H. 

Gulick  writes  under  the  spell  of  a 
happy  honeymoon,  so  we  withhold  our 
blue  pencil  from  breaking  any  of  the 
charms:

WILLIAM  H.  GULICK. 

ber  of  '83  and  had  been  elected  Sec'y  of 
same  do  you  think  he  would  have  sus- 
tained his  reputation?  I  feel  that  I  owe 
you  au  apology  for  not  answering  your 
circular  letter  long  before  this,  and 
trust  that  there  are  very  few,  who  have 
served  you  the  same  way. 

In  regard  to  my  history  since  grad- 
uation, would  say,  that  after  being  de- 
clared a  "civil  engineer"  by  "The  John 
C.  Green  School  of  Science,"  and  after 
having  received  the  "all  important"  (?) 
"DIP. ."signed  in  full  by  names,  a  large 
majority  of  which,  I  must  confess,  you 
fail  to  find  connected  with  any  great 
engineering  feats,  unknown  and  un- 
heard of,  in  the  engineering  world; 
with  this  "skiu"  (sheep's  I  believe)  I  ex- 
pected to  get  a  position  at  once,  but 
'  O!  what  a  diffei'ence  in  the  morning." 
I  think  I  showed  it  to  one  person,  who 
informed  me  that  a  "week's  work"  was 
worth  more  to  him  as  a  recommenda- 
tion, than  all  the  degrees  Princeton  col- 
lege could  confer  in  the  next  twenty- 
five  years.  "Ye  gods  of  v* ar" — Well!  I 
sent  my  "Dip"  home,  and  with  a  letter 


of  introduction  from  a  friend  of  my 
family,  I  received  a  position  with  the 
Phoenix  Iron  Co.,  of  Phamixville,  Pa., 
and  have  been  located  with  them  and 
the  Phoenix  Bridge  Co.  of  the  same 
place,  almost  continuously  ever  since. 
My  business  has  taken  me  into  almost 
every  Slate  and  Territory  in  this  coun- 
try, but  mainly  in  the  South  and  West 
I  have  been  brought  in  contact  with 
many  graduates  of  Princeton  and  have 
received  numerous  courtesies  at  their 
hands. 

I  am  not  taking  much  interest  in  pol- 
itics, have  written  no  books,  articles, 
etc.,  and  consequently,  have  not  cover- 
ed myself  with  dust  or  glory. 

Have  joined  the  Masonic  Fraternity, 
and  numerous  clubs  of  a  more  social 
order. 

Was  married  on  Feb.  8,  1803  to  Miss 
C.  E.  Dismant  of  Phoenix,  Pa.,  and  have 
just  returned  from  a  two  week's  stay 
in  St.  Augustine,  Florida. 

My  views  on  Free  Trade  and  Tariff 
would  naturally  be  affected  by  my  per- 
sonal interest  in  the  Iron  trade,  and 
consequently  Avould  lean  toward  a  high 
protective  tariff  for  all  home  industries. 
I  believe  and  practice  temperance  in  all 
things,  but  never  expect  prohibition  or 
the  Prohibition  party  to  amount  to  any- 
thing in  this  country.  In  fact  I  think 
they  are  growing  weaker  every  3rear. 

I  consider  the  "Almighty  Dollar"  in 
the  hands  of  our  politicans.  one  of  the 
greatest  dangers  threatening  our  na 
tion. 

In  conclusion  let  me  commend  our 
long-suffering  Secretaiy  for  his  noble 
effort  in  behalf  of  a  suitable  history  of 
'83. 

Gulick,  W.  R. 

No  report  since  Triennial. 

Hardcastle,  A. 

Hardy  left  the  class  and  entered  '85 
later  but  did  not  graduate.  He  is  at 
Goldsboro,  Md.  practicing  medicine.

Ireland,  Gilbert  W. 

Is  perhaps  still  herding  cattle  iu  Tex- 
as, but  we  have  not  heard  recently. 

Kirby,  William  B. 

Our  newspaper  member  from  Jersey, 
the  State  where  the  bookmakers  are 
said  to  run  the  Legislature,  and  the 
race  track  magnates  to  subsidize  the 
press,  furnishes  his  own  copy: — Kirby 
has  shown  himself  one  of  the  most  loyal 
and  interested  of  the  Ex-members  of 
'83. 

"My  life  in  the  last  ten  years  has 
been  uneventful  so  far  as  matters  of  in- 
terest to  others  are  concerned.  A 
lengthy  sketch  of  it  would  be  found 
flat,  stale  and  unprolitable.  I  have  for 
some  years  been  city  editor  of  the 
Bridgeton  Evening  News  and  corres- 
pondent for  outside  papers,  daily  at  my 
post  and  endeavoring  to  discharge  my 
duties  as  faithfuly  as  possible.  Have 
reported  weddings,  bad  sermons,  wres- 
tled with  editorials,  investigated  mur- 
ders, gunned  for  "advs."  and  covered 
pretty  much  everything  connected  with 
the  daily  routine  of  a  newspaper  in  a 
thriving  town  of  12,000  inhabitants. 

Was  for  two  years  City  Clerk.  Am  a 
vestryman  of  St.  Andi'ew's  Protestant 
Episcopal  church  and  a  member  of  the 
"boy  choir." 

Three  little  fairies  grace  my  home, 
but  none  of  them  can  vote  the  Demo- 
cratic ticket.  Daughter  No.  1  is  Jennie 
Bowen  Kirby,  born  in  February,  1888; 
No.  2,  Marguerite  Lee  Kirby,  born  in 
July,  1890;  No.  3,  Marie  Louise  Kirby, 
born  in  October,  1891.  I  believe  strong- 
ly in  Native  Americans,  am  not  struck 
on  immigration.  In  fact,  I  think  it  the 
greatest  evil  of  our  country  to-day. 

Wishing  the  Secretary  all  manner  of 
success  with  his  important  and  arduous 
task,  I  am,  etc. 

Kribbs,  C.  E. 

No  report.     Perhaps  at  Edenburg,  Pa. 


Lee,  W.  H  C. 

Lee  was  practicing  medicine  at  Boon- 
ton,  N.  J.,  when  last  heard  from. 

Lynde,  Chas.  Wesley. 

It  is  strange  that  Lynde  does  not   an- 
swer from  Trenton,  N.  J. 


Marks,  A.  W. 

Died  Sept.  17.  1880.  He  was  one  of 
the  victims  of  the  typho-malaria  epid- 
emic that  broke  up  the  end  of  our 
freshman  year. 


McCIure,  Samuel  W. 

A  full  report  of  McCIure  in  the  Sexen- 
nial Record.  He  was  then  in  Law  in 
Vilas,  Col. 

Mitchell,  Norman  E. 

Mitchell  pokes  his  head  out  of  a  Feb- 
ruary blizzard  long  enough  to  say: 

"I  left  Princeton  five  years  ago  and 
have  resided  at  Sheldon,  N.  Dak.,  ever 
since.  This  is  my  address  for  the  pres- 
ent. 

Took  a  trip  back  east  during  the  fall 
of  '91,  and  witnessed  all  the  football 
games  in  which  Princeton  took  part.  I 
am  not  married,  and  have  no  present 
intention  of  becoming  a  Benedict. 

Voted  the  straight  Republican  ticket 
last  fall,  and  agree  with  that  party  on 
all  questions  of  which  it  is  the  distinc- 
tive champion."  And  at  this  point  like 
the  party  which  he  supports,  he  got 
suowed  under. 

Moffatt,  Alexander. 

All  the  Class  remember  with  pleasure 
the  days  of  Freshman  year  when  Alex, 
and  Will  Moffatt  were  with  us.  Even 
then  both  gave  promise  of  the  valuable 
athletic  service  they  would  render  the 
college, and  we  have  all  been  grateful  to 


-90- 


Alex.  for  what  he  did  and  is  still  doing 
for  the  cause  of  mauly, vigorous  athletics 
both  in  and  out  of  college.  As  a  Foot 
Ball  Enthusiast,  Aleck  is  "still  there." 
His  address  is  120  Broadway,  N.  Y., 
where  he  is   in  business.- 

Moffatt,  Wm.  D. 

"Billy"  has  made  strong  and  steady 
progess  in  the  book  business  and  we  be- 
lieve is  still  with  Chas.  Scribner  &  Sons 
in  N.  Y.  in  charge  of  one  of  the  depart- 
ments and  doing  well. 

Noble,  Rev.  Wm.  B. 

Noble  left  us  in  1880,  entered  Har- 
vard and  later  became  an  Episcopal 
clergyman  and  is  now  preaching.  He 
gave  promise  of  strong  mental  life  and 
we  prophesy  for  him  a  high  place  in  the 
ranks  of  the  Churcji. 

Peace,  Phil.  P. 

Address  is  care  of  Philadelphia  Club, 
Philadelphia,  Pa. 


Pennington,  Francis. 

Was  also  cut  off  by  fever  during  fresh 
man  year  and  died  on  June  6,  1880. 

For  complete  report  see  Sexennial 
Record. 


Porter,  N.  W. 

No  report. 

Proctor,  William  Cooper*f 

Proc  has  l'esided  in  Cincinnati  since 
leaving  college,  and  expects  to  remain 
there.  He  is  a  member  of  the  well- 
known  firm  of  Proctor  &  Gamble,  large 
manufacturers  of  soaps,  candles,  oils 
and  glycei'ine.  Reports  progress  in 
collecting  together  some  of  the  goods 
of  this  world.  He  made  a  good  resolu- 
tion last  year  and  proceeded  to  carry  it 
out,  by  marrying  on  New  Year's  day, 


1889,  Miss  Jane  Eliza  Johnson,  at  Glen- 
dale,  Ohio.  P.  S.  No  message  from 
Proctor  since  the  above,  but  he  a  loyal 
true  son  of  '83  and  retains  a  lively 
interest. 


Rainsford.  John  C. 

Was  the  first  one  of  our  class  to  be 
taken  from  us  by  death.  After  a  short 
illness  with  the  fever  he  died  on  June 
2,  1890. 

Richardson,  C.  P. 


C.  P.  RICHARDSON. 

Our  Cresent  City  Classmate,  (71 
Baronne  St.  New  Orleans)  in  his  en- 
counter with  fortune,  seems  to  have 
gotten  it  about  where  John  L.  Sullivan 
did  a  few  months  ago,  in  the  same 
locality.     He  writes; 

I  regret  to  have  to  say  I  cannot  re- 
port for  myself  as  flatteringly  as  I  did 
for  the  Sexennial,  but  even  if  truth  is 
sometimes  harsh  it  is  no  sin. 

I  am  still  single — still   sticking  to  the 


—91— 


opiniou  that  "milk  is  too  cheap  to  buy 
a  cow,"  besides  my  inability  to  provide 
for  one  as  I  should  desire.  I  have  been 
very  unfortunate  since  rny  last  report. 
At  that  time  I  was  buoyant  with  hopes, 
and  with  large,  promising,  well  con- 
considered  investments.  Since  that 
time  I  have  been  besieged  with  one 
continual  succession  of  disappointments. 
I  am  putting  on  the  best  smile  possible, 
keeping  cheerful  and  patiently  await- 
ing the  turning  of  the  tide,  ever  assur- 
ing myself  of  the  truthfulness  of  the 
old  adage  "Tis  a  long  lane  which  has 
no  turns."  I  am  hopeful,  with  the 
event  of  Cleveland's  election  that  the 
stagnation  of  business  and  investments 
in  the  Southern  states  will  soon  be 
washed  away  and  a  revived  buoyancy 
follow.  Beyo  id  doubt  we  have  in  these 
Southern  states  the  Elysium  of  this 
country — rich  in  its  natural  resources 
and  fertile  fields,  and  must  eventually 
be  the  most  prosperous  of  all  sections 
so  while  I  am  now  down  and  being 
thumped  severely,  with  the  probable 
prosperity  of  the  country  I  trust  to  re- 
cover my  losses.  However  this  may 
be,  my  address  is  at  the  head  of  this 
sheet,  and  there  a  warm,  hearty  shake 
of  the  hand  awaits  every  member  of 
the  Class  of  '83  who  may  visit  this 
Congenial  but  dirty  old  City!. 

As  to  politics  I  have  that  of  my 
country.  All  good  citizens  with  us 
vote  democratic  ticket  straight,  even  to 
the  bitter  republicans  who  come 
amongst  us.  I  believe  in  high  licensed 
liquor  privileges,  and  while  a  good 
democrat  as  above  stated,  believe  in 
Tariff  and  Protection — and  bounty  on 
sugar  (only  regretting  it  is  not  on  cot- 
ton as  well). 

Robeson,  J.  E. 

No  report.  Does  any  one  know  of 
his  whereabouts. 

Rogers,  T.  B. 

Tim  is  farming  and  his  address  is 
Bear  Station,  Del. 


Rogers,  Wm.  R. 

Graduated  with  '84  and  took  a  post 
graduate  in  chemistry.    Has  since  died. 

Shaw,  W.    McD. 

Shaw  left  us  to  "step  higher,"  skipped 
a  year  and  took  his  "Dip"  with  '82. 

Shoemaker,  Samuel  M.* 

No  classmate  ever  gave  another  a 
more  royal  welcome  and  "good"  time 
than  Sam  gave  your  Secretary  in  April 
'91  while  he  was  on  a  trip  south,  His 
delightful  home  in  Baltimore  seems 
open  ^to  his  old  College  friends,  and 
serves  to  emphasize  the  depths  of  these 
early  formed  friendships.  He  was 
married  at  Baltimore  to  Miss  Helen 
Whiteridge,  and  a  most  attractive  little 
girl  adds  sunshine  to  their  home.  Sam 
is  occupied  with  a  large  estate  just  out 
of  Baltimore.  We  regret  we  have  no 
direct  recent  message  from  him. 

• 
Steele,  H.  F. 

No  Report.  He  was  a  special  with  us 
in  Freshman  year  only. 


Vail,  J    F. 


No  report. 


Wade,  Benj.  Franklin 

No  report. 

Way,  Geo.  P. 

From  no  one  among  the  Ex-Members 
of  '83  has  the  Secretary  had  more  de- 
lightful letters,  expressive  of  personal 
and  class  interest,  than  from  Way. 
We  regret  however  that  we  cannot 
advise  the  class  of  his  present  where- 
abouts, as  he  last  wrote  from  Europe. 
He  has  spent  much  of  his  time  in 
Europe  where  he  has  traveled  for 
health  and  recreation.  Geo.  was  mar- 
ried to  Miss  Louis  >  Angele  Merriam  at 
New  York   May  19,    1885.      His   latest

Welch,  Wm. 

We  are  rejoiced  to  receive  at  last 
some  tidings  of  "Dominie"  Welch.  A 
classmate  writes  he  met  him  at  Tocoma, 
Wash,  where  he  is  practicing  ,-law  for 
a  profession"  and  love  for  fuller  de- 
velopement  of  himself,  i.  e.  He  is  mar- 
ried.    Write  us  Welch. 

Weyer,  W.  Otto. 

The  Secretary  has  met  Weyer  several 
times  in  Buffalo,  where  he  is  practicing 
law  and  having  success.  A  full  report 
of  his  doings  is  found  in  the  last  Record. 

Wilcox,  Samuel  D. 

No  report  from  our  "dear  little  curly 
headed  brunette,  who  was.  with  us  only 
long  enough  to  impress  upon  us  his 
short  neat  personality." 


GEO.  P.  WAY. 


address  known  to  us  is  Care  Drexel,

debut.

Minutes  of  First  Reunion,  June  18,  1884- 

As  no  arrangements  had  been  made 
by  the  class  officers,  Russell  Moore  kind- 
ly volunteered  to  do  the  work,  and 
thanks  to  his  active  efforts  the  class  sat 
down  June  16  at  10  p.  m.  to  a  very 
good  supper  at  the  University  Hotel. 
Twenty-eight  of  the  class  responded  at 
Roll  call.  Mr.  James  S.  Harlan  was 
called  to  the  chair  and  acted  as  Toast 
Master.  At  2  a.  m.  the  class  of  '81 
came  in  a  body  to  greet  us,  and  cheers 
were  exchanged,  after  which  Dave 
Haines  spoke  to  us  in  behalf  of  '81. 
After  a  walk  "around  the  Triangle," 
the  Old  Campus  heard  once  more  "the 
music  of  our  tread,"  aud  around  the 
Old  Cannon,  we  called  for  the  absent 
members  and  for  "Frank  Wood's  Base- 
Bawl  Bat."  The  following  members  of 
'83  were  present:  Bryant,  Bratton, 
Bedle,  Crouse,  Colt,  Carman,  W.  D. 
Green,  W.  H.  G-ulick,  Hewitt,  Harlan, 
Carner,  Libbey,  Moore,  Morgan,  Mur- 
doch, McKnight,  Parmly,  Perrine, 
Riggs,  Royle,  Rudd,  Richmond,  Taber, 
Taylor,  Ward,  Wadleigh,  White, 
Woods.  Mitchell,  Paden,  Park,  Towle 
came  for  Commencement  Day,  June  17, 
1884. 

Minutes  of  Triennial  Reunion,  June  22,  1886. 

Forty-three  members  of  the  class 
were  loyal  and  interested  enough  to  re- 
turn to  Old  Nassau  to  "remiuise,"  and 
a  most  delightful  reunion  was  had. 
University  Hall  was  the  only  available 
place  and  was  secured,  the  conditions 
being  that  no  liquors  be  served,  and 
hence  a  "dry"  supper.  However,  near- 
ly everyone  declared  it  a  great  success 
and  a  most  honorable  record  for  '83. 
The  Sexennial  Reunion  gave  each  one 
who  was  pi*esent  at  both  a  chance  for 
comparison.  The  latter  was  far  from 
a  dry  one.  Among  those  who  attended 
was  Buck  Antrim.  He  came  to  tell  us 
of  the  value  of  Dad's  course  in  logic 
and  his  high  grade  enabled  him  in  later 


years  to  stand   high   among  the    legal 
lights  of  Southern  Jersey.      Buck  also 
enjoyed    au    old    time    game    of    ball. 
Bedle  revealed  to  the  class  the   secrets 
of  Wall  street.      Bryant,    Carman   and 
Carter  quietly  enjoyed  things.    Crouse, 
of  course,  was  right  in  his  element,  and 
Hankins  did  a  rushing    business   in   se- 
gars  and   "licorice   water."      Day  was 
larger  than  life,  and   was   often   found 
knocking  at  2  s.    w.    in   company   with 
Richie,  Ward  and  Yard   and   other   old 
members    of  the   S.   S.  S.      Dickinson 
and  Fell  explained   how  they  had   be- 
come great   in    three  years.       George 
Edwards  related  incidents  of  Seminary 
sprees  in  which  Finney,    Earner,    Rich- 
mond and   Rudd   played   a  prominent 
part.      In    auother  group   might  have 
been  found   Field,    Fisher,    McKnight, 
Rieman,  Riggs,  Roberts  and    Wadleigh 
enjoying  the  old   campus   and  benches 
in  front  of  North.     Preach  Hawes   was 
the  centre  of  an  interested  group  listen- 
ing to  how   he   stumped   Ohio   for   the 
Prohibition  ticket,  with    Rusty    Moore 
and    George    Howell    as    his    backers. 
Hewitt,    Hodge,     Jones,      Keller     and 
Woods   (when   he   wasn't   with  Charlie 
Young)  looked  closely   after   the    Whig 
Hall  goat.     Parmly,    Perrine,  Phillips, 
Prescott  and  Wilson  competed   the   list 
of  the   regular  members    present.      It 
was  also  pleasant  to  see  the   following 
ex  '83  men:     Barclay,  Fleming,  Proctor 
and  Richardson.     A-<   the   fellows    tiled 
into  the  diuing-room  the  secretary   had 
the  copy  of  the  Triennial  Record  ready. 
Before   the   menu   was   discussed,     the 
following     business      was     transacted: 
Andrew  W.    Wilson    was  elected   class 
president  in  place   of  James   P.   Flint, 
resigned.     Resignation  of  W.  D.  Green, 
as  class   secretary,   was   accepted,    and 
Edward  Huntting  Rudd,  who  had  serv- 
ed the   c'ass   two   years   as  temporary 
secretary,  was  elected   permanently   to 
that   office.      The  president-elect   then 
invited   Otto   Crouse   to    act   as    Toast 
Master,  which  he  did  in  his  well-known 


—99— 


style.  Rev.  Duck  Karner  asked  the 
blessing.  It  was  voted  uot  to  award 
the  Class  Cup  until  June,  1893,  at  the 
Decennial  Reunion.  That  member 
of  '83  who  has  the  oldest  living  son  is 
to  receive  the  silver  cup,  it  being  un- 
derstood that  the  boy  be  present  if  pos- 
sible at  the  Reunion.  During  the  stay 
in  Princeton,  Rose,  the  Princeton 
photographer,  took  the  picture  of  the 
class,  and  this  one  and  the  Sexennial 
group  may  be  ordered  of  him  at  any 
time  at  $1  00  each.  The  class  adjourn- 
ed to  meet  in  Princeton,  June,  1889. 

Minutes  of  Ssxennial  Reunion,  June  18,  '89 

Of  the  thirty  members  who  attended 
the  Sexennial,  twenty-two  were  at  the 
Triennial.  It  is  hoped  the  members 
will  increase  instead  of  decrease  and 
that  at  the  Decennial  at  least  75  men 
will  be  present.  Tuesday  being  the 
day  for  the  alumni  dinner,  the  class 
supper  was  arranged  for  this  date. 
The  Sexennial  supper  was  a  great  suc- 
cess. About  7:30  the  fellows  gathered 
at  Carls'  Restaurant  in  the  same  room 
in  which  Mrs.  Dohm's  club  used  to 
meet,  and  Duck  Karner's  club  felt 
thoroughly  at  home.  After  the  bless 
iug  had  been  asked  by  Rev.  Frank 
Woods' Grouse  acting  as  toast  master 
and  president  pro.  tern,  called  for 
matters  of  business.  The  Secretary 
read  the  minutes  of  the  Triennial  Re- 
xiniou,  with  occasional  comments  on 
the  whereabouts  of  the  members  of  the 
class.  Frank  C.  Roberts  was  elected 
class  treasurer.  The  following  were 
elected  as  the  memorial  committee  to 
suggest  and  select  a  suitable  gift  for 
the  college  at  our  Decenuial  Reunion 
in  June,  1893:  Alexander,  Grouse, 
Hodge,  Roberts  and  Wauamaker,  with 
Wilson  and  Rudd  as  members  ex- officio, 
making  a  committee  of  seven-  Com- 
munications regretting  their  absence' 
were  received  from  Harriman,  Hoskius, 
Parmly,  "Andy"  Wilson  and  several 
others.      The   dinner   itself  was  one  of 


the  best  ever  served  a  class  in  Prince- 
ton, the  decorations  were  exquisite  and 
dainty,  the  service  excellent  and  the 
speeches  bright. 

After  the  coffee  was  reached  and  the 
cigars  were  lit,  the  fellows  began  to 
effervesce.  Hedge  spoke  on  '83's  absent 
members,  '  making  especial  and  beauti- 
ful reference  to  the  life  and  death  of 
Hoi)  McKnight,  who  was  cheerful  and 
brave  to  the  last."  Petty  proved  him- 
self to  be  an  A.  No.  1  stump  speaker,  as 
he  replied  for  "83's  politics."  Jim 
Harlan  spoke  for  '"83  in  law."  Rusty 
Moore  responded  to  the  toast — well, 
call  his  subject  "Miscellaneous,"  then 
you  could  truthfully  say  he  "stuck  to 
his  text."  As  a  pleasant  diversion  it 
had  been  decided  by  the  Senior  Class 
Glee  Club  to  give  a  silver  cup  to  the 
first  boy  born  to  one  of  their  members. 
A.  C.  Ward  sprung  it  on  them  to  the 
tune  of  "double  entry"  and  on  May  8, 
1889,  twin  boys  came  to  his  home.  On 
behalf  of  the  S.  S.  S.,  Richmond  pre- 
sented two  silver  cups  to  the  lads. 
Ward  and  Reward,  and  Acey  respond- 
ed in  a  way  becoming  a  proud  dad. 
College  songs  were  interspersed 
through  the  evening  and  before  ad 
journiug  the  following  were  noted  as 
present:  Alexander,  Bryant,  Carter, 
Grouse,  Day,  Dickinson,  Fell,  Harlan, 
Hawes,  Hodge,  Howell,  Kellar,  Moore 
Murdoch,  Osborn,  Petty,  Phillips,  Pres- 
cott,  Richmond,  Rieman,  Riggs, 
Roberts,  Rudd,  Rutau,  Suauklin,  Smy- 
ser,  Spier,  Wadleigh,  Ward,  Woods 
and  Yard. 

Notes  on  Informal  Reunion  June  13,  1892. 

A  few  of  the  class  had  a  pleasant 
dinner  Monday  evening  June  13,  1892. 
Plans  for  the  Decenuial  were  discussed, 
the  Secretary  was  instructed  to  have 
the  "Record"  ready  for  Decennial  Re- 
union. Committees  and  Sub-Com- 
mitees  were  appointed  in  connection 
with  the  Class  Memorial  and  the  Re- 
union June  13,  1893.    As  the  Secretary

was  unable  to  be  present  and  only  a 
meagre  report  was  sent  hirn  on  de- 
tached slips  by  the  Class  President  this 
"minute"  is  rather  incomplete. 

Class  Ode  of '83. 

June  18,  1883. 

words  by  c.  v.  thompson,   music  by 

charles  i.  young. 

A  song  to  greet  the  morning! 

The  woven  shadows  gray. 
The  golden  mists  of  dawning 

Roll  back  and  it  is  day. 
And  boyhoods'  dreams  and  pleasures 

And  all  that  fancy  rears — 
Shrink  back  before  the  measures 

Of  the  diviner  years. 

CHORUS. 

Farewell — no  more  together 

Are  battles  fought  and  won — 
We  part,  and  none  knows  whither 

The  swift  years  bear  him  on. 
Yet  tho'  we  part  and  sever, 

Are  we  not  one  forever, 
All  one  in  love  for  old  Nassau, 

All  one  in  eighty-  three! 

Life  comes  to  each  one  bringing 

Her  gifts  of  love  and  faith, 
Of  sorrow,  and  of  singing, 

Of  tears  and  peace,  and  death 
With  lips  that  mock  and  flatter, 

With  garlands  for  the  brow, 
With  hands  that  hold  and  scatter, 

She  stands  before  us  now.— Cho. 

Forth !  woo  her  as  a  lover 

Woos  at  his  lady's  knee, 
Until  she  bless  thee  over 

All  that  thy  prayers  may  be. 
The  brave  have  ever  won  her, 

The  true  have  known  her  best, 
She  giveth  gold  and  honor 

Still  to  the  worthiest. — Cho. 

And  when  the  years  made  holy 
With  battles  lost  and  won, 

Look  wearily  and  slowly 
Unto  the  setting  sun. 


Our  hearts  shall  turn,  my  brother. 

Like  pilgrims  worn  and  gray 
Back  to  the  saci'ed  Mecca — 

The  shrine  we  leave  to-day! 

CHORUS. 

Farewell!  our  Alma  Mater — 

Our  love,  our  hopes — to  thee — 
The  dawning  day  shall  scatter 

Thy  sous  of  Eigty-three. 
Yet,  Brothers,  though  we  sever. 

Still  are  we  one  forever — 
All  one  in  love  for  Old  Nassau, 

All  one  in  Eighty-three. 

Triennal  Song,  '83

BY  C.  A.  RICHMOND. 


Tune — Annie  Lisle.     Ab. 

Comrades,  now  with  joy  returning 

To  old  Nassau's  praise. 
Hearts  with  warm  devotion  burning, 

Loyal  songs  shall  raise. 
Sing  her  ancient  fame  and  splendor, 

Sing  both  loud  and  free. 
To  our  glorious  Alma  Mater, 

To  old  '83. 

CHORUS. 

Voices  blending,  praise  ascending. 

Sing  both  loud  and  free, 
To  our  glorious  Alma  Mater, 

To  old  '83. 

Treasures  we  have  sought  to  borrow 

From  the  rolling  years, 
Mid  their  weight  of  joy  and  sorrow, 

Mid  their  gloomy  fears. 
At  thy  feet  our  wreaths  we'll  scatter, 

Dedicate  to  thee 
All  our  laurels,  Alma  Mater, 

And  to  '83.— Cho. 

Grief  has  spread  her  shadow  o'er  us, 

Mourn  we  then  to-day 
■  Those  whose  memory  bright  before   us, 

Ne'er  shall  fade  away. 
But  with  hearts  united  closer 
Firm  and  true  stand  we, 


-101- 


Health  we  pledge  to  Alma  Mater, 
Health  to  '83. 

CHORUS. 

Loyal  ever,  failing  never, 
Firm  and  true  stand  we; 

Health  we  pledge  to  Alma  Mater, 
Health  to  '88.

June  18,  1889. 


BY  C.  A.  RICHMOND. 


Tune — "Lauriger  Hor -alius, ,"  Key  of  O. 

Here's  to  Thee,  Old  Eighty-three 

All  her  sons  shall  greet  her, 
Home  we  draw  to  Old  Nassau, 

Joyfully  we  meet  her. 

'83,  a  health  to  Thee 

Loudly  we  commend  her, 
'83  Thy  Sous  are  we 

Proudly  we'll  defend  her. 

Hearts  keep  time,  iu  joy  sublime 
Shout  her  name  so  glorious, 

Voices  strong,  shall  swell  the  song 
Sounding  high  the  chorus. 

'83,  Thy  Sons  are  we 

Loving  hearts  commend  her, 
Strong  and  free  in  '83. 

Loyally  defend  her. 

Brooding  care,  through  changing  years 

Trail  their  shadow  o'er  us, 
Death's  return,  we  sadly  mourn 

Comrades  gone  before  us. 

Still  in  thee,  old  '83 

Memory  fadeth  never, 
'83,  in  love  to  Thee 

We  are  one  forever. 

But  to-night  no  care  shall  blight, 

Joy  shall  reign  supremely, 
Here's  to  Thee,  Sweet  '83, 

Mistress  fair  and  queenly. 

'83,  a  health  to  Thee 
Loudly  we'll  commend  her, 

'83,  Thy  Sons  are  we 
Proudly  we'll  defend  her.

A  health  to  chear!  we  pledge  it  here 

For  a  loyal  heart  we  call.

CHORUS. 

A  health  to  Nassau  Hall  my  boys. 

Here's  a  health  to  Nassau  Hall. 
A  flowing  glass,  to  the  dear  old   class, 

And  a  health  to  Nassau  Hall. 


Like  fond  old  dreams,    those     kindly

In  the  halls  we  loved  so  well.

'83' s  Decennial  Memorial  Gift  to  Princeton 
College. 

In  order  that  the  class  may  have  in 
this  permanent  form  the  beginning'  re- 
garding our  class  gift  to  the  college, 
your  secretary  inserts  the  following 
letters  issued  by  the  Memorial  Com- 
mittee: 

New  York,  June  15th,  1892. 

To  the  members  of  the  class  of  eighty- 
three: — The  Memorial  Committee  elect- 
ed at  the  Sexennial  of  our  class  was  in- 
structed to  select  a  memorial  gift  to  be 
given  to  the  college  at  our  Decennial 
Reunion,  and  was  directed  to  raise  the 
necessary  funds.  They  were  given  full 
power  in  the  premises,  including  the 
power  to  add  to  their   numbers. 

After  a  considerable  amount  of  cor- 
respondence and  consultation  with 
various  members  of  the  class,  a  very 
full  aud  representative  meeting  of  the 
original  members  of  the  committee  was 
held  in  this  city  the  night  before  the 
Thanksgiving  game  last  fall,  1892. 

The  committee  at  that  meeting  at 
once  set  about  enlarging  itself  in  order 
that  all  sections  of  the  country  and  all 
the  various  interests  in  the  class,  both 
among  the  graduates  and  those  who  are 
members  of  '83.  but  who  are  not  gradu- 
ates, might  be  fully  represented,  and 
in  order  that  every  member  of  the  class 
might  be  within  the  reach  of  a  member 
of  the  committee. 

The  original  committee,  as  appears 
by  the  Sexennial  Record,  consisted  of 
Alexander,  Crouse,  Hodge,  Roberts, 
Rudd,  Wanamaker  and  Wilson.  The 
resignation  of  Wanamaker,  occasioned 
by  necessity  aud  regretfully  tendered 
and   accepted,    had   caused    a  vacancy 


which  had  been  tilled  previous  to  the 
Thanksgiving  meeting  by  the  election 
of  Bryant. 

The  new  members  of  our  little  con- 
gress, representing  constituencies  all 
over  the  country,  elected'  at  the  last 
mentioned  meeting,  are  Bratton  of 
Maryland,  Day  of  Ohio,  Jones  of  Texas, 
Harlan  of  Chicago,  Harrimau  of 
New  York,  Field  of  New  Jersey  and 
Richardson  of  Louisiana.  These  mem- 
bers have  each  of  them  since  accepted 
the  office  of  committeeman  aud  its 
duties.  Alexander  was  elected  chair- 
man; Roberts  treasurer;  and  Crouse 
secretary.  Alexander,  at  a  subsequent 
meeting,  was  compelled  to  tender  his 
resignation  owing  to  ill  health,  and 
Bryant  was  elected  chairman  in  his 
place. 

The  Memorial  of  the  Class  of  '83  is  to 
be  a  Section  in  the  College  Library  de- 
voted to  the  subject  of  Constitutional 
History,  Political  Science  and  Juris- 
prudence, to  be  known  as  "THE 
CLASS  OF  'S3  LIBRARY  OF  POLITI- 
CAL SCIENCE  AND  JURISPRU- 
DENCE. 

It  needs  but  a  few  words  to  show 
that  this  (1)  tills  a  need  of  Princeton 
University,  (2)  will  be  popular  with 
our  class  and  the  college,  (3)  can  be 
purchased  aud  endowed  with  whatever 
sum  the  class  places  at  our  commaud, 
(4)  is  a  permanent  gift,  aud  (5)  is  an 
eminently  appropriate  one  for  our 
class  to  make. 

A  collection  of  works  upon  the  sub- 
ject suggested  is  the  most  appropriate 
gift  '83  could  give.  Our  class  gave  the 
"Lyman  H.  Atwater  Prize  in  Political 
Scieuce."  She  now  proposes  to  give 
necessary  tools  to  her  prizemen 

The  foundation  of  such  .a  Library 
may  possibly  (and  in  the  opinion  of 
some  in  authority,  will  probably)  be 
an  important  step  towards  the  estab- 
lishment of  other  post-graduate  courses 
in  Constitutional  History,  Political 
Science  and  Jurisprudence,  and   finally 


— i03 — 


of  a  Law  School,  under  the  direction 
of  that  most  able  and  popular  Professor 
— Woodrovv  Wilson. 

Our  class  will  be  able  to  put  into  the 
hands  of  the  students  of  Princeton 
nearly  all  the  standard  books  of  value 
in  the  English  language  upon  this  sub- 
ject, and  to  keep  them  fairly  supplied 
in  future,  if  we  are  able  to  raise  $10,- 
000,  and  to  approximately  reach  the 
same  result  with  a  smaller  sum. 
******* 

Arrangement  has  already  been  made 
for  the  purchase  of  between  1,000  and 
1,500  volumes,  as  the  nucleus  of  the 
'83  library.  Each  book  will  be  stamp- 
ed on  the  back  and  insidj  with  a  design 
setting  forth  the  name  of  the  Class,  &c. 
Sepai'ate  alcoves  will  be  assigned  to 
the  collections.  A  handsome  wrought 
iron  grille;  with  a  suitable  inscription, 
will  be  hung  from  the  balcony  in  the 
library  immediately  in  front  of  the  as- 
signed alcoves. 

President  Patton,  the  Faculty  and 
the  Librarian,  Mr.  Richardson,  are  all 
greatly  interested  in  our  gift,  and  are 
doing  everything  in  their  power  to  for- 
ward its  interests.  The  "Princeton- 
ian"  for  March  2d,  1893,  contains  the 
following  editorial: 

"The  proposition  of  the  Class  of  '83 
to  found  and  endow  a  Library  of  Politi- 
cal Science  and  Jurisprudence  as  their 
decennial  class  memorial  is  one  that  is 
a  source  of  untold  gratification  to  the 
undergraduates.  While  our  library  is 
rich  in  the  departments  of  mathemati- 
cal and  mental  science,  it  is,  on  the 
other  hand,  proportionately  weak  in 
other  branches,  and  it  is  one  of  these 
branches  the  Class  of  '83  proposes  to 
make  one  of  the  best.  The  lack  of  ref- 
erence works  in  the  department  of 
political  science  and  jurisprudence  has 
been  felt  for  a  long  time,  without  much 
hope  of  an  appreciable  addition.  This 
class  has  generously  offered  to  till  this 
want,  and  in  doing  so  they  may  be  sure 
that  their  efforts  will  not  be  misplaced. 


They  could  not  have  decided  upon  a 
gift  which  would  have  been  more  ac- 
ceptable or  upon  one  which  would  be  a 
means  of  greater  benefit  to  the  college. 
It  is  doubly  pleasing  to  learn  that  a 
larger  number  of  volumes  are  to  be 
placed  on  the  shelves  immediately,  and 
that  access  will  soon  be  given  to  them. 
This  gift  will  be  one  more  add- 
ed to  those  given  heretofore  as  memo- 
rials, all  of  which  are  testimonials  of 
the  great  interest  taken  by  the  alumni 
in  the  welfare  of  their  alma  mater." 
******* 

The    presentation    of    the    Memorial 
will  be  made  June  13,  1893.
